After you file
I hope this information helps you all with 570 codes and nothing else, including no letter. I called the IRS Friday, the lady was very vague with me she told me my account was under review and it could take up to 45 days. When I inquired about if a letter would be coming, she said a letter may or may not be mailed it has to be reviewed.
I kept asking questions and she said to give her a few minutes and she said well it looks like your “withholding is off” and she went on to say if I filed using a last paystub versus a W2. I quickly shut it down and said I used my W2 not a paystub. She said well yeah, they’ll have to review it and they have 45 days. And I proceeded to ask if I could provide anything to speed up the process in any way. She said to call back around March 6th if it wasn’t resolved.
So I flip out. With the whole “withholding” being off. And call the TA line. Get a pin and wait 2 hours and 30 mins to be hung up on by the automated voice. Call back, wait another 30 and talk to another woman. She tells me that she will have to transfer me back to the line that I was referred to at this point I’m asking her for info. Like what do you see before transferring me and making me wait an hour again! Do you see something wrong with my withholding? Wages? Anything?
She says hold on and looks and says no there’s nothing wrong with your withholding I’m sorry if you were misinformed unless what she is “seeing” is from when you were first processed before path was lifted. Your wages and withholding all look fine. But I’m seeing ALOT of people call our line about this code and it is just too soon! Path just lifted and if you haven’t been reprocessed then your hold is for earned income and child tax credits. Which they HAVE to verify to prevent fraud. She said, I honestly wouldn’t have referred you because it’s WAY too soon. This could clear up your next process. So did this IRS lady just give me a panic attack for nothing? She said she sees the same thing they do and she can’t tell me if my credits are good! But for sure your wages and withholding are. 😑😭
UPDATE:
Those who filed with turbo tax. If you wanna grab your W-2’s and call this number ([phone number removed]) so you can verify your information.
I repeated customer service two times to the auto voice. Was connected to the representative and explained that I wanted her to walk me through my return and the numbers I entered when I filed. Just to be sure the numbers lined up and everything was accurate for peace of mind. Keep in mind when I called the IRS, the lady told me I was under review and my “withholdings look off.” The lady even said I could amend my return if I wanted, because I kept asking what I could do to help. Okay why would you advise me to do that when my numbers are right?!
Like mentioned earlier when I called the TA line right away and they said. Your withholdings and wages match.... I don’t know why she told you that. Well just now I got double peace of mind. My turbo tax representative was AMAZING, I was on my phone while having her on speaker. She gave me access on my phone screen to review everything I put on my return to verify all numbers compared to my W-2’s. She said unfortunately I think the lady just said that because you kept prying her for info. So she just gave you something random so you’d stop asking stuff. I said yeah but she freaked me out! I thought I made a typo. She said no girl just breathe, you just verified your numbers are good! You should update soon and if you don’t, then get a tax advocate. I’m feeling a little better now that I saw my numbers. Just a waiting game!
