Why Does IRS Show "Information Not Available" for 2024 with Pending Adjustment Message When I Never Requested One?

I logged into my IRS Account at sa.www4.irs.gov today at 10:40 and when I checked the Details By Year section, it's showing that my 2024 Income Tax information "Is Not Available at This Time" with an "INFO" status. There's a message stating "If you requested an adjustment to your account your information will not be available until that transaction is complete." But here's the thing - I never requested any adjustments. When I look at my previous years in the Details By Year section, both 2023 and 2022 show clear $0.00 balances. For 2024, there's just this INFO status with the message about my information not being available at this time. The system displays several options in a menu including: - Recently filed or processing returns - Pending payments or adjustments - Information on your business account - Installment agreement fees - Make a payment - Frequently Asked Questions About Balances But none of these explain why there's a pending adjustment I didn't request. I'm confused because the message specifically says "If you requested an adjustment to your account your information will not be available until that transaction is complete" - but I definitely didn't request any adjustment. The contrast between my previous years showing $0.00 balances and this mysterious INFO status for 2024 is concerning me. What could be happening with my 2024 tax information? Does this mean someone else requested an adjustment on my behalf or there's some kind of processing happening? What does this INFO status actually mean and should I be worried about it?

The IRS account page shows a clear timeline of your tax records, with $0.00 balances confirmed for both 2022 and 2023, indicating those years are fully settled. For 2024, there's an "INFO" status message stating your information is unavailable, which appears in the system when any processing activity is occurring - whether initiated by you or the IRS internally. The navigation menu options visible ("Recently filed or processing returns," "Pending payments or adjustments," etc.) are standard IRS portal features and don't indicate any specific issues with your account. The temporary unavailability message is a routine system status that typically appears during standard processing periods, even when the IRS is conducting automatic reviews or updates. Given your previous years show zero balances and you haven't requested adjustments, this is likely routine IRS processing that should resolve within 2-3 weeks. The "INFO" status is a standard placeholder rather than an indicator of problems. The presence of this message in early 2024 is particularly common as the IRS prepares their systems for the new tax year.
