Hello @Mosleyc33The tax code 290, “Additional Tax Assessed” usually appears on your transcript if you have no additional tax assessment. When you get the 290 code on your transcript, you may either have an amount next to it, or $0.00 will appear there. A normal 2021 IRS tax transcript for someone eligible for stimulus checks will look something like the following: 

Code Explanation Cycle Date Amount 290  Additional Tax Assessed 20201403 02-24-2020 A$0.00

(dates shown might be different if you actually got a check or a prepaid card instead of direct deposit)

Please not that the date might be somewhat different in a real situation, especially if you got a prepaid card or a check either than a direct deposit. Here is what you need to know about the sample IRS tax transcript with the transaction code 290:

The meaning of code 290 on the transcript is "Additional Tax Assessed".

The 20201403 on the transcript is the Cycle.

From the cycle 2020 is the year under review or tax filing.

The number 14 is the IRS Cycle Week.

Finally, the number 03 is the Process Day of the week.

IRS code 290 with $0.00 basically means a freeze or hold has been lifted.
