Code 570 Appeared on My Transcript - What Does "Additional Account Action Pending" Mean for My $6,042 Head of Household Refund?
Just checked my transcript and saw code 570 showed up today. Anyone know what this means? Been waiting since January and getting nervous about my refund. Here's what I'm seeing on my Account Transcript: FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2024 ACCOUNT BALANCE: -$6,042.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 11, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -$6,042.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED: EXEMPTIONS: 02 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $20,189.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 0.00 TAX PER RETURN: 0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER): Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE: Feb. 25, 2025 TRANSACTIONS: CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250603 02-25-2025 $0.00 76221-416-41894-5 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-16-2025 -$129.00 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2025 -$2,700.00 768 Earned income credit 04-17-2025 -$3,213.00 570 Additional account action pending 02-25-2025 $0.00 I filed as Head of Household back in January and was expecting a refund with my Earned Income Credit. Everything seemed to be processing fine, but now I see this code 570 "Additional account action pending" with today's date. My refund shows -$6,042.00 but I'm worried this new code means there's a problem. Anyone dealt with this before? How long will this delay my refund? Really need this money soon.

Code 570 means the IRS put a temporary hold on your refund. They're probably reviewing something on your return. Could be identity verification, income verification, or they found a math error. Usually gets resolved within 2-8 weeks depending on what triggered it.

Check if you have a 971 code too. If you do youll probably get a notice in the mail explaining the hold

Code 570 is basically the IRS saying "hold up, we need to take a closer look at something." Since you have both 570 and 971 codes, you'll definitely get a notice in the mail explaining what they need from you. Common reasons for HOH filers include verifying dependents, income matching, or identity verification. The good news is your refund amount is still showing correctly at -$6,042, so they're not disputing the amount. Just hang tight for that notice - it should arrive within 2-3 weeks and will tell you exactly what to do next.

•Thanks for breaking that down! That actually makes me feel a bit better knowing the refund amount isn't being disputed. I'll keep an eye out for that notice in the mail. Hopefully it's something simple I can resolve quickly 🤞
