Amend tax return

Hi, my w2 came late and I used a last paystub but I got a code 570 and to verify income. Should I amend or they will be able to fix it and find my W2?

It depends.  You can wait for the IRS to request your W-2 information which may take some time. Or, you can choose to amend your return when it's available.  Use the information below to amend if you choose to do that.

  • IRS code 570 may be seen when there is a hold on the processing of your tax refund due to information that the IRS has flagged for further review. Subsequent correspondence will be sent to you, noting the specifics of the hold, and if any measures need to be performed by you.

There could be many reasons why the amended return may not be ready yet, including the IRS systems. If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

 

By using the link, Tax Forms Availability, you can continue to check to see when it's ready.  Be sure to review all the instructions before you begin so that TurboTax knows the original information and the changes.

 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment

I called the irs earlier and woman told me it was flagged for income verification but I still only have code 570 but not 971 and they sent a letter 464c to my house but others are telling the 570 code will fix itself and they will fix my W2 wages on there end and for me not to amend if it regards a missing W2

The code puts a freeze on your refund and waits until they can verify.  This can take some time so that's why I suggest the amendment.  It's up to you what you want to do.  The amendment isn't quite ready so you have time to think about it.  

Your return processing is frozen until they lift it with verification.
