Who else got the 570 code on their transcript this year?

I received the 570 code exactly 27 days after filing on February 8th. In my experience, 570 typically indicates a temporary hold while the IRS reviews something specific on your return. For about 76% of filers, this resolves within 14-21 days and is followed by code 571 (resolved) and then 846 (refund issued). My hold lasted precisely 18 days before resolving. Don't worry too much - this is extremely common in the 2024 filing season, especially for returns filed between January 29th and March 15th.

I'm on day 35 with the 570 code and it's driving me crazy. Unlike regular processing delays, this one actually requires attention. My friend filed a week after me with almost identical information and already got her refund two weeks ago. If you have this code, I suggest pulling your wage and income transcript to make sure everything matches what you reported. In my case, there was a W-2 discrepancy that I didn't catch.

The 570 code is like a yellow traffic light in the IRS processing system. It's not a red light (audit) but it's not a green light (approved) either. It's the system saying "wait a minute, let me check something." This year there seems to be an unusual number of these holds, particularly with returns claiming certain credits. In most cases, the system is just verifying information against third-party data, similar to how a bank might hold a large check deposit until it clears. The good news is that most of these resolve automatically without you needing to do anything.

I had the 570 code for nearly 6 weeks and was going crazy trying to figure out what was happening. Here's what finally worked for me: Step 1: I tried calling the regular IRS number every day for a week - never got through Step 2: Tried calling right when they opened - still 2+ hour wait times Step 3: Used Claimyr.com to connect with an IRS agent (https://claimyr.com) Step 4: Got through in about 25 minutes instead of spending days redialing The agent explained exactly what was causing my 570 code (a mismatch with my estimated tax payments) and manually released the hold while I was on the phone. My transcript updated the next day and I got my refund 5 days later. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human who can actually see what's happening with your account.

I think it might be worth considering that the 570 code could potentially be related to the increased verification processes the IRS implemented this year. From what I understand, they're being more thorough with returns claiming certain credits or with income discrepancies. It might not necessarily mean there's anything wrong with your return... but it could possibly take longer than usual to resolve. I'd suggest maybe waiting another week or two before taking any action, unless you're facing a financial hardship and really need that refund soon.

I received the TC 570 with a subsequent TC 971 Notice Issued code approximately 45 days post-submission. According to IRS Internal Revenue Manual 21.5.6, this specific code combination typically indicates a Refund Hold due to potential Identity Verification requirements or Undeliverable Refund procedures. In my case, verification was indeed required, but after completing the ID.me process via the IRS portal, my account progressed to TC 571 (Resolved) status within 9 business days. Has anyone else experienced this particular resolution timeline with the same code sequence?

The dreaded 570 club! 🙃 Been a member for 32 days now. My transcript looks like it's written in hieroglyphics - 570, 971, 424, etc. Called the IRS three times (which is about as fun as a root canal without anesthesia). First agent said "just wait," second one said "we need more information" but couldn't tell me what information, and the third one actually found the issue - apparently I fat-fingered my AGI from last year on my return. What concerns me is that if I hadn't kept calling, this could have dragged on for months! Anyone else finding that persistence is the only way to get resolution?

I got the 570 code about 3 weeks ago and honestly had never seen it before on any of my previous tax returns. After reading through everyone's experiences here, it sounds like it's way more common this year than usual. I'm curious if anyone knows whether certain types of returns are more likely to get this code? I claimed the Child Tax Credit and EITC this year for the first time since my income dropped, and I'm wondering if that's what triggered the review. My transcript just shows the 570 with no additional codes yet, so I'm in that waiting phase everyone talks about. Thanks for sharing your timelines - it's really helping me manage my expectations!

I'm new to this community but wanted to share my recent 570 code experience since everyone's stories have been so helpful! I got the 570 code on March 3rd (about 6 days ago) and immediately started panicking. After reading through all your experiences, I feel much better about the situation. Like several others mentioned, I also claimed EITC for the first time this year after a career change, so that might explain the hold. What's interesting is that I can see on my transcript that the 570 appeared exactly 21 days after I filed electronically on February 10th. Based on the timelines shared here, I'm hoping to see either a 571 code or some movement in the next week or two. Has anyone noticed if filing early in the season (like February) versus later affects how long the 570 review takes? Thanks for creating such a supportive space to discuss these stressful tax situations!
