Will I get a refund for 2020?

JBK14 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:03:48 GMT

My question is concerning if I will get a refund for 2020 the reason I ask is becuase filed 2018, 2019 and 2020. It was mentioned through an irs rep that I wouldn't get any refund becuase my 15 and 12 year recieved their SSN in 2021(this due to their birth abroad certificate).

I checked last week friday and my 2020 tax return has been filed and this is what is reflected on my transcript, the dates and codes are confusing to me.

2019 still hasn't been procesed.

I apreciate any help I can get.

Ok ... hate to tell you but you will NOT get any credits for the kids on any returns filed before you got their SS#s issued. So even if you put the kids & credits on the prior year returns do not expect to get the credits ... the IRS will stop them. If you used a tax program it will not warn you of this situation which is why you have code 570 ... this will be cross checked by a human before the return is fully processed ... expect an IRS letter in the mail.
