IRS Transcript Shows 570/971/290 Codes With "No Tax Return Filed" Status - What Does CP 005A Notice and Disallowed Claim Mean?

I'm freaking out looking at my transcript and seeing these codes pop up. I'm staring at my account transcript and it literally says "No tax return filed" at the top even though I definitely filed mine months ago! Looking at the details, I've got these transaction codes: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT No tax return filed 570 Additional account action pending 06-10-2024 $0.00 971 Notice issued 06-10-2024 $0.00 CP 005A 290 Disallowed claim 11-04-2024 $0.00 71254-689-99020-4 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data The 570 "Additional account action pending" is dated 06-10-2024 with a $0.00 amount. Right below that is a 971 "Notice issued" also dated 06-10-2024 for $0.00 with "CP 005A" below it. Then there's a 290 code saying "Disallowed claim" dated 11-04-2024, also showing $0.00. I'm especially concerned about what "Disallowed claim" means - does this mean they rejected my whole return? And why does it have a future date of 11-04-2024 when we're not even there yet? The transcript has that number string at the bottom (71254-689-99020-4) which I assume is some kind of reference number. Can someone please tell me what all this means for my refund? Why is it showing "No tax return filed" when I definitely filed? What's a CP 005A notice, and should I be worried about this "Disallowed claim" code? I'm completely stressed out looking at this.

The transcript shows three key codes affecting your tax situation. First, there are two codes dated June 10, 2024: a 570 (Additional account action pending) and a 971 (Notice issued). These codes appearing together typically indicate the IRS has flagged your return for review. The $0.00 amounts shown are normal for these transaction codes - they're status indicators rather than monetary adjustments. The most concerning code is the 290 dated November 4, 2024, marked as "Disallowed claim." This indicates the IRS has rejected something you claimed on your return. You'll receive a CP 005A notice (shown in your transcript) that will explain exactly what was disallowed and why. The "No tax return filed" message at the top might appear because your return is under review and hasn't been fully processed in the system yet. The cycle number (71254-689-99020-4) is your unique processing identifier. Watch your mail carefully for that CP 005A notice - it will contain specific details about what was disallowed and what steps you can take next. If you disagree with their decision, you'll have appeal rights that will be explained in the notice.
