Will Code 570 Delay My $4,894 Refund? HOH Filer with EIC Credits and Feb 24 Hold Date
Just checked my transcript and I'm seeing some concerning codes. My refund should be $4,894.00 (-4,894.00 account balance) but I'm worried about what I'm seeing. I filed Head of Household with 2 exemptions, AGI of $26,500.00 and taxable income of $4,600.00. I see code 570 (Additional account action pending) dated 02-24-2025 with $0.00 amount. I also see codes: - 766 (Credit to your account) for -$1,105.00 - 768 (Earned income credit) for -$3,605.00 - 806 (W-2 or 1099 withholding) for -$184.00 Looking at the full transcript details: ACCOUNT BALANCE: -4,894.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 24, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Feb. 24, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -4,894.00 ** INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED ** EXEMPTIONS: 02 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: 26,500.00 TAXABLE INCOME: 4,600.00 TAX PER RETURN: 0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: 0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: 0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: 0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER): Apr. 15, 2025 PROCESSING DATE: Feb. 17, 2025 TRANSACTIONS: CODE | EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT 150 | Tax return filed | 20250505 | 02-17-2025 | $0.00 16221-415-07491-5 806 | W-2 or 1099 withholding | 04-15-2025 | -$184.00 766 | Credit to your account | 04-15-2025 | -$1,105.00 768 | Earned income credit | 04-15-2025 | -$3,605.00 570 | Additional account action pending | 02-24-2025 | $0.00 The transcript shows my return was processed on Feb. 17, 2025 (code 150) and my return due date is April 15, 2025. My account balance plus accruals shows -$4,894.00 with $0.00 in accrued interest and penalties as of Feb. 24, 2025. Anyone know if this 570 code is good or bad news for my refund? I'm really counting on this money and getting nervous about what this means. I don't understand why there's an "Additional account action pending" when all my numbers seem to add up correctly. When I total the credits (-$184 withholding, -$1,105 credit, and -$3,605 earned income credit), it equals exactly -$4,894.00, which matches my expected refund amount.

Your transcript shows a total expected refund of $4,894.00, broken down into three main components: $184.00 in W-2/1099 withholdings (code 806), $1,105.00 in credits (code 766), and $3,605.00 in earned income credit (code 768). These numbers match your expected refund amount exactly. The 570 code dated February 24, 2025, indicates a temporary hold on your account. While this might seem concerning, it's a common occurrence, especially with returns claiming the Earned Income Credit (EIC), which makes up the majority of your refund ($3,605.00 out of $4,894.00). Your return was processed on February 17, 2025 (code 150), and there are currently no penalties or interest accruing on your account. Your filing status as Head of Household with 2 exemptions, AGI of $26,500.00, and taxable income of $4,600.00 all appear normal and consistent with someone who would qualify for the EIC. Since your self-employment tax fields show $0.00, this indicates your income was likely all from W-2 employment, which typically means a simpler review process. The hold is likely part of standard EIC verification procedures, and having a $0.00 amount associated with the 570 code is normal - it's simply marking a procedural hold, not a financial adjustment.

•Usually 2-4 weeks, but can vary. Best to keep checking your transcripts weekly for updates.

Quick tip: keep an eye out for code 571 - that means the hold is released. Then you should see an 846 code with your refund date!

I've been through this exact situation before! The 570 code with EIC is super common - they're just doing their standard review to make sure everything checks out. Your numbers look solid and the fact that your withholdings + credits add up perfectly to your refund amount is a good sign. One thing I learned is to check your transcript every Friday morning - that's usually when they update with new codes. And like others mentioned, once you see that 571 code pop up, you'll know the hold is lifted and your 846 refund date should follow shortly after. Hang in there! 🤞
