I e-filed 2-13-2021, still waiting for my refund. My IRS transcript is dated 3-23-2021 and shows a 570 code dated 4-05-2021 and then a 571 code dated 4-12-2021. Why these future dates? How can there be a good news 571 code that shows up now, prior even to the 4-05-2021 570 code date?

Depends. The 570 code stops your return processing and 571 code releases your return for processing. The 570 code indicates additional liability is pending. It looks it will be released on 4/12. Normally the IRS will add an additional week to investigate dependents. Did you have earned income tax credit and/or additional child tax credit? If you have earned income credit and/or additional child tax credit, it is probably delayed. Returns with either of these credits are covered under the PATH act, which gives the IRS authority to delay the refund to verify dependent information on your return.

It could be a number of items that stopped the processing. Unemployment benefits, dependency questions, recovery rebate credit/stimulus payments mismatch, just to name a few. But at least your have dates indicating your return will start processing. You may not receive the total amount of the refund you requested. Watch your mailbox for a letter of explanation from the IRS.

Appreciate your reply. I still don’t understand the future dates for the 570 and 571 codes. Checked transcript on 3-23-2021, so why wasn’t 570 “hold” code dated 3-23-2021 or earlier? And how can IRS know a week later that a 4-12-2021 571 release hold code will be justified, way back on 3-23-2021? Dates simply make no sense. Suspect a mismatch problem: Never received a 1099-G for my Calif state tax refund, so used Turbotax’s “no 1099-G” option to report state refund amount. Not taxable for 2020 federal, though, since for 2019 I took standard deduction for federal. None of the other situations you mentioned apply, I am a single, retired filer with no dependents, so my tax situation is not complicated.

Can you update us on what happened ? Did you receive a letter from IRS? I have a 576 code with future date on my transcript. Calling the customer service was not very helpful.

I received a 570 then a 571 that was back in November of 2019 I haven't heard anything else about it. No, letter, dates are anything.

My has a new account action code 571 resolved but its back-dated to March of 2021. They still haven't changed or adjusted my amended return on May 5 so does this code mean it is releases for them to process my amended return??? It was suppose to be expedited in October but still no word.

What is code 576. Not 570 but 576 dated 04/04. I got part of my refund but the other part has code 576. Will I get that later?

576 Unallowable Tax Hold

Holds the Unallowable Tax to the extent of the Credit Balance in suspense. Freezes the amount of the TC 576 from refund and offset out.

Code 576 is a tax hold ( of some kind for any reason) ... the future date is an estimate of when the issue could be dealt with and then a code 577 would replace it. There is nothing you can do about this but wait for the IRS to complete the process.

So is it possible for that code to change and I still get that part of my refund?

Can you let me know what code 766/768 mean with a date of 4/15/22 than a code of 570 04/04/21 am I getting my refund or they are going to keep holding it

Critter-3

@Msgreen25

Look at your return ... don't those amounts look familiar ?

Code 766 indicates a credit to your account (generally, a refund - but it can be a credit toward taxes in a prior year, if you have those).

Code 768 indicates an earned income credit amount.

And code 570 means a hold for a variety of reasons :

Yes they look familiar at the top of my transcript it show a negative sign with the refund amount but I don’t owe any taxes for any prior or current years I had to verify my return when I first filed that’s it

@Msgreen25 I have the same problem but nothing has changed for me, no refund. Do you have an update? Have you received your refund?

You can check the IRS website Where's My Refund for your federal information.

If you have a state refund, visit the How do I track my state refund page, and then select your state. @phill11

Yeah I had code 570 then got code 971. I filed in February its April now and I still have not received my refund. I was however sent a letter stating my taxes are on hold, but no information as to why its on hold. Its extremely frustrating.
