Still Waiting on 2023 Federal Tax Refund with 571/290 Codes While Receiving Indiana State Refund 1099-G
Filed my 2023 taxes back in February and still nothing. Looking at my transcript and seeing codes 571 and 290 but no direct deposit date. Already verified my identity through id.me months ago. Starting to lose my mind checking WMR every day. Anyone else dealing with this or know what these codes mean? I just received a Letter ID L0012865649 from Indiana Department of Revenue dated January 14, 2025 with a Form 1099-G. It shows: Recipient's Identification Number Box 2: State or local income tax refunds : $1106 Box 3: Refund is for tax year : 2023 State of Indiana FID : 356000158 Year of Issuance : 2024 The letter says "If you itemized deductions on your federal income tax return and claimed a deduction for state and local income taxes paid, you may need to report some or all of the amount shown in Box 2 to the IRS. Additionally, any of this refund amount reported as income on your federal income tax return should be deducted from your income on your Indiana tax return." It also mentions I can visit https://www.in.gov/dor/individual-income-taxes/form-1099-8 for FAQs or use Indiana's new e-services portal called INTIME (Indiana Taxpayer Information Management Engine) to view my individual tax account and message them with questions. But I'm confused because I'm still waiting on my federal refund from 2023! I filed in February, verified through id.me months ago, and keep seeing these 571 and 290 codes on my transcript with no DDD. Does this 1099-G from Indiana have anything to do with my federal refund delay? Is anyone else experiencing these long delays with the same transcript codes? I check WMR obsessively and it's driving me crazy.

Tax specialist here - looking at those codes, the 571 means a previous hold/freeze was released and the 290 is a generic processing code. This combination usually means your return is moving through the system, but there's still some processing to complete before you get your Direct Deposit Date (DDD). For a faster analysis of your specific situation and estimated timeline, I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai - it's this new AI tool that analyzes your full transcript and gives you a detailed breakdown of where things stand and what to expect next. Way better than trying to decode these codes manually tbh

•Super accurate in my experience. It analyzes your whole transcript history and spots patterns the IRS uses for processing. Plus it explains everything in normal human language lol

•Just used taxr.ai and here's what I got back: My transcript showed multiple holds but taxr explained that they're actually resolved now. Says I should see my refund in 2-3 weeks based on my cycle code and current processing stage.

Those codes typically mean there was an adjustment made to your return (290) and they removed a hold (571). Usually you'll see a 846 code with a deposit date within 1-2 weeks after these show up. Keep checking your transcript daily.

Instead of going crazy checking WMR everyday, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it https://taxr.ai

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

Ugh I feel your pain! Been waiting since March 2023 myself with similar codes. That 1099-G from Indiana is totally separate from your federal refund - it's just saying you got a state refund in 2024 for your 2023 taxes, which you might need to report as income on your 2024 federal return if you itemized deductions. It has nothing to do with your federal refund delay. The 571/290 codes are actually good signs though - means they released a hold and made an adjustment. You should hopefully see movement soon! 🤞

•Thanks for explaining that about the 1099-G! I was so confused thinking it was connected to my federal delay somehow. Good to know the codes are actually positive signs - gives me some hope after almost a year of waiting! 🙏

I totally feel your frustration! Been in a similar situation myself. Those codes 571 and 290 are actually good signs - the 571 means they released a previous hold on your account, and 290 indicates they made some kind of adjustment to your return. This usually means your refund is in the final stages of processing. Regarding the Indiana 1099-G, that's completely separate from your federal refund delay. Since you received a state refund in 2024 for your 2023 taxes, Indiana is required to send you this form. If you itemized deductions on your 2023 federal return and claimed state tax payments, you might need to report some of that $1106 refund as income on your 2024 federal return (the one you'll file this year). The federal delay with those codes typically resolves within 2-4 weeks, so hopefully you'll see that 846 refund code with a DDD soon! Keep checking your transcript rather than WMR - it's more accurate. Hang in there! 💪
