It is neither good or bad ... the return has to be manually entered and reviewed so that is what the code is saying ... a human must now look at it and push it along. If the IRS wants more info from you they will send a letter.

what ever ended up happening with this code ? Did u receive a notice or anything soon after ? I have same code on all 3 of my amended returns and it seems as though this would mean the process is moving forward but I’m not sure

thx !

@Nate1974

all 3 of my amended returns

Were these for three different tax years? Hopefully, you mailed them in separate envelopes. Amended returns take several months to process.
