Return Under Review Status - No Additional Info Needed - Timeframe for Processing?

Review timeframes vary widely. Could be 30 days. Might stretch to 120 days. Depends on review type. No additional info needed is positive. Means automated review likely. Check transcript for TC 570/571 codes. Those indicate hold/release cycles. Check WMR tool daily for updates.

I was in a similar situation with an 'under review' status on my return. The terminology was identical - 'no additional information needed at this time.' I used https://taxr.ai to analyze my transcript codes, and it helped me understand exactly where my return was in the process. The system identified that I had a TC 570 code (indicating the review) and predicted when it would likely resolve based on similar cases. Have you checked your transcript for specific transaction codes?

According to the IRS.gov website, 'under review' status with no additional information requested typically means they're verifying certain elements of your return internally. The IRS Processing Codes and Information guide (available on their site) indicates that most reviews without taxpayer contact resolve within 45 days. However, during peak filing season (which we're in now), this can extend to 60-75 days. The key is watching for transcript updates - specifically look for code 571 which indicates the review has been completed.

When my return was under review with the same 'no additional information needed' status, I tried calling the IRS directly using their standard number. After 3 failed attempts (average wait time 2+ hours), I used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) and got connected to an IRS representative in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was in standard verification protocol and provided an estimated completion timeframe. This gave me peace of mind about my medical expenses timeframe. Worth considering if you need definitive answers.

I'm not convinced these reviews without additional information are as routine as people claim. My brother had the same status last year and ended up waiting 6 months for his refund. The IRS never contacted him, but the review dragged on. These 'average' processing times people quote don't account for outliers. I'd prepare for the possibility of an extended delay, especially if you claimed any credits or have self-employment income that might trigger additional scrutiny.

I've seen dozens of these cases resolve much faster than the worst-case scenarios. Reviews without document requests typically fall into three categories: 1) Identity verification (2-3 weeks), 2) Income verification against employer records (3-5 weeks), or 3) Credit eligibility verification (4-8 weeks). Compared to audit situations that can take 6+ months, yours is likely in a much better position. One client of mine had almost identical circumstances and received their refund in 32 days from the review start date.
