Code 570 after amended return

polohan — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 06:30:27 GMT

I have to amend my return since I missed some forms, which eventually resulted in me owing IRS some money after receiving my refund from the initial return.

I sent the check along with the 1040-X about 4 weeks ago but it still hasn't shown up in the "Where's my amended return" tool. When I checked the transcript, the check value has been correctly added to my balance, but no sign of the amended return. However, I do find a transaction with code 570 with a future date (5/22) in the transcript. Does anyone know what this means? What should I do in this case? Thanks.

(And strangely, 5/22 is the same date that is shown for the "As of:" date for both the accused interest and penalty)

If you mailed a 1040-X it should show up by 3-4 weeks,

so check again next week.

There is nothing else to be done.

Amended returns are taking 20 + weeks to process ... right now just be happy you know they have the return for processing (hopefully they cashed your check). The code 570 is a general code meaning the return is on hold pending processing. If the IRS wants/needs anything they will mail you a notice.
