What Does the 570 Code and 'As Of Date' on My Transcript Actually Mean?

OK so those dates/codes actually tell us quite a bit about your return status. Here's the breakdown: 570 = additional account action pending. Basically IRS has temporarily frozen your refund while they review something. Not necessarily an audit, could be identity verification or simple math check. AS OF DATE = when your acct balance was last updated PROCESSING DATE = when IRS computer system processed this particular action All being the same date (3/4) suggests this just happened. You'll prob see a 971 code (notice issued) soon. Check your mail in ~2 wks.

I had something similar happen on my return this year, but my dates were all different which made it more confusing than yours. At least with the same date (3/4), it's clearer when the action was taken. Compared to last year when I had a 570 code, this year's processing seems to be moving faster overall. Have you checked if you can view any pending notices on your online account? Sometimes they show up there before you get the physical mail.

Have you checked for a cycle code on your transcript? It should be a 8-digit number ending in 01-05 (like 20241005). This can tell you which processing cycle you're in, which might help predict when updates will happen. Did you claim any credits like the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit that might need additional verification?

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I spent nearly 3 weeks trying to get through to the IRS about a similar issue. It seems like everyone is experiencing these holds this year. I finally used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to get through to an agent after wasting hours redialing. It might be worth considering if you don't see movement in the next week or so. The agent was actually able to tell me exactly why my return had the 570 code and when it would likely be released.

I just went through this exact situation. My transcript showed 570 code on March 4th, and as of March 25th, it updated with code 571 (resolved) and 846 (refund issued). The 570 code was just a verification hold because I changed addresses since filing last year. The key is watching for the 971 notice code - I received my letter on March 12th, but it required no action on my part. If you don't see any movement by April 8th, that would be when I'd start making calls.

I've been through this a few times. Here's what I know: • 570 code = temporary hold • Same dates usually means automated review • Most resolve within 2-3 weeks • Watch for 971 code (notice) I'm a bit concerned that all your dates are identical though. In my experience, that sometimes means the system flagged something specific. Might want to double-check your return for any potential discrepancies.

I had exactly the same codes on February 12th. My refund was released exactly 21 days later on March 4th with no action required from me. The 570 code was because I had claimed $1,250 for the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit and they were verifying it. My refund of $3,842 was deposited 5 days after the hold was released. Just sharing my timeline so you have a realistic expectation - it's frustrating but usually resolves itself!

Those codes are confusing. I had the same thing. Called IRS after waiting two weeks. They said it was just a random review. Nothing to do on my end. Got my refund a week later. The system is weird this year.
