Will My Refund Unfreeze After Oct 21? Transcript Shows 2 Amended Returns, Multiple 570/977 Codes & Penalty Removal
I need help understanding what's happening with my amended return situation. My transcript is showing multiple amendments and I'm really confused about whether money is coming or not. Looking at my transcript, I see: TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20242405 07-01-2024 $4,875.00 14221-478-43991-4 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2024 -$3,456.00 810 Refund freeze 03-29-2024 $0.00 276 Penalty for late payment of tax 20242405 07-01-2024 $347.00 196 Interest charged for late payment 20242405 07-01-2024 $211.00 971 Notice issued 07-01-2024 $0.00 570 Additional account action pending 08-05-2024 $0.00 971 Amended tax return or claim 07-02-2024 $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 07-02-2024 $0.00 33277-601-02162-4 971 Amended tax return or claim 08-17-2024 $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 08-17-2024 $0.00 33277-634-01925-4 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2024 -$1,850.00 290 Additional tax assessed 20244005 10-21-2024 $762.00 19254-675-06360-4 570 Additional account action pending 10-21-2024 $0.00 277 Reduced or removed penalty for 10-21-2024 -$347.00 late payment of tax 197 Reduced or removed interest 10-21-2024 -$211.00 charged for late payment This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data Two separate 977 codes for amended returns - one filed on 07-02-2024 (reference 33277-601-02162-4) and another on 08-17-2024 (reference 33277-634-01925-4). I don't understand why there are two different amendments when I only filed one. Did the IRS file one on my behalf? There are also multiple 570 codes showing "Additional account action pending" - one for 08-05-2024 and another for 10-21-2024. Does this mean they're still processing something? The timeline shows my original return was filed (code 150) on 07-01-2024 with cycle date 20242405, but then there's a refund freeze (code 810) from 03-29-2024 which seems odd since it's before I filed my return. I got hit with some penalties (code 276) and interest (code 196) on 07-01-2024, but then later on 10-21-2024 they reduced or removed both the penalty (code 277) and interest (code 197). I see there's an additional tax assessed (code 290) from 10-21-2024 with reference 19254-675-06360-4 and cycle 20244005, but I'm not sure what this is for? I also see multiple 971 notices issued on different dates (07-01-2024, 07-02-2024, and 08-17-2024) but I don't think I've received all of these notices. I notice there are two separate 806 codes for W-2 or 1099 withholding on 04-15-2024. Why would this appear twice? With all these codes and dates, especially the two different amendments and pending actions, I really can't tell what's happening with my refund. Can someone help me make sense of this? Will I be getting a refund or do I owe more money? The penalties were removed but there's that additional tax assessment that has me worried.

Your transcript shows a complex series of events with your tax return. The original return was filed on July 1, 2024 (code 150), but there was already a refund freeze in place from March 29 (code 810). Initially, you were charged penalties and interest for late payment (codes 276 and 196) on July 1. You then filed two separate amendments: the first on July 2 (reference 33277-601-02162-4) and another on August 17 (reference 33277-634-01925-4). Each amendment generated a 971 notice to inform you of their processing. The IRS has made some recent adjustments in your favor on October 21: - Removed or reduced your late payment penalty (code 277) - Removed or reduced the associated interest charges (code 197) - However, they also assessed additional tax (code 290, reference 19254-675-06360-4) There are two 570 codes (August 5 and October 21) indicating your account is still under review. The presence of withholding credits (code 806) from April 15 shows you had tax payments through payroll deduction. Your refund status remains pending since there's no 846 code (refund issued) on the transcript. The multiple pending actions and recent tax assessment suggest your case is still being processed.

With amended returns its hard to say exactly, but since your last adjustment was in October, I'd expect movement within 30-60 days

Hey, I was in a similar situation last month. I started using taxr.ai to track my transcript and it was super helpful. It costs $1 but it analyzes everything and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Way better than trying to decode these codes ourselves lol https://taxr.ai
