IRS Transcript shows $10,815 refund with code 570 "Additional action pending" - Filed HOH with EIC of $7,450, still no deposit as of March 12

Thanks for explaining this! I've been checking my mail every day and haven't received anything from the IRS yet. Should I be worried that they might be sending me a letter that got lost?

Not yet. The IRS is notoriously slow with everything. If they need documents from you, they'll eventually send another letter if you don't respond to the first one. Just keep checking your transcript weekly - it will update before any letter arrives anyway.

This is accurate. The 570 code had me panicking last year too but my refund came through about 5 weeks later without me doing anything. Just had to wait it out.

5 weeks?! Ugh I was hoping to get this money sooner. Did you ever find out why they put the hold on your account?

Nope! Never got any explanation. The freeze just disappeared and money showed up in my account a few days later. IRS works in mysterious ways lol

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

It does wayyy more than just read it. It actually analyzes all the codes together and gives you a complete picture of what's happening. It showed me that my 570 code was just routine verification and even predicted when I'd get my refund which was accurate to the day! Seriously a game changer if youre dealing with the IRS.

OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! 🙏 Just tried it and it explained my entire situation in like 2 minutes. Been stressing for weeks trying to figure out what was happening with my refund. This tool is INSANE, everyone dealing with the IRS needs to know about this!!

is it free?

There's a cost but honestly it was the best money I've spent all year. Saved me hours of stress and research, plus it helped me understand exactly what was happening so I could stop worrying about my refund.

Wait, this actually works? I've been calling the IRS for days and can't get through. Always get the "we're experiencing high call volume" message 🙄

100% works. I tried calling like 15 times on my own and got nowhere. Claimyr did all the waiting on hold and called me when they got an agent. Talking to a real person got everything sorted so much faster than just waiting around.

Seems sketchy tbh... how does some random service get through when nobody else can?

They basically just wait on hold for you and use some system to navigate the phone tree. Nothing sketchy - they just save you from having to sit on hold for hours. The agent who called me was 100% a real IRS employee. Best decision I made when dealing with this refund nightmare.

just tried this and had an IRS agent on the phone within 45 minutes. turns out my 570 code was because of a math error they found but never sent me a letter about 🤬 agent fixed it while i was on the phone!

Yes I claimed my 2 kids as dependants. How did you prove they lived with you? What documents did they ask for?

They wanted school records showing my address, medical records, and benefit statements that had the kids names. It was annoying but once I sent everything in they released the refund about 3 weeks later.

This happened to my sister too. EIC audits are super common, the IRS does them randomly. Just make sure you have documentation for anything you claimed on your taxes.

I don't see any 971 code on my transcript, just the 570. Is that good or bad?

Thats actually good news! Usually when they need something from you, they'll add both a 570 and 971 code. Since you only have the 570, it's more likely just a temporary delay while they review your return internally. Just keep watching for updates.

Everything I claimed is 100% correct. I'm a single parent with 2 kids and I worked part-time last year while going to school. Should I be worried?

You shouldn't be worried if everything is correct. Just be prepared to provide documentation if they ask - things like school records for your kids, lease agreement or mortgage showing they live with you, medical records, etc. But most reviews clear automatically without them ever contacting you.

I already received my state refund about 2 weeks ago. Does that mean the state part is fine?

Yeah if you got your state refund then that's not the issue. Probably just the standard EIC verification then.

I worked part-time and didn't have much withheld from my paychecks. Most of my refund is coming from the earned income credit and child tax credit for my kids.

I'm pretty sure I entered it correctly, but is there a way to verify the account number the IRS has on file?

Unfortunately you can't see the full account number on the transcript or through the Where's My Refund tool. If you're worried, you can call the IRS and ask them to verify the last 4 digits of the account number they have on file.

Is it true that filing early increases chances of these reviews? I've heard filing in the first week of tax season gets more scrutiny.

There's some truth to that. Early filers with refundable credits do seem to get flagged more often, though the IRS denies this is policy. They're trying to catch fraudulent returns early. But honestly, these reviews happen throughout the season.

does it cost anything?

Yes there's a fee but honestly I would've paid 3x what they charge for the peace of mind it gave me. Was driving myself crazy trying to figure out what was happening with my refund before I found this.

I was skeptical but wow this actually works really well. Finally understand whats actually going on with my refund instead of just guessing and stressing out. Why doesn't the IRS just explain things this clearly??

Right?? The IRS could learn a thing or two about clear communication from these guys lol
