Filed my 2023 taxes back in February and still nothing. Looking at my transcript and seeing codes 571 and 290 but no direct deposit date. Already verified my identity through id.me months ago. Starting to lose my mind checking WMR every day. Anyone else dealing with this or know what these codes mean? I just received a Letter ID L0012865649 from Indiana Department of Revenue dated January 14, 2025 with a Form 1099-G. It shows: Recipient's Identification Number Box 2: State or local income tax refunds : $1106 Box 3: Refund is for tax year : 2023 State of Indiana FID : 356000158 Year of Issuance : 2024 The letter says "If you itemized deductions on your federal income tax return and claimed a deduction for state and local income taxes paid, you may need to report some or all of the amount shown in Box 2 to the IRS. Additionally, any of this refund amount reported as income on your federal income tax return should be deducted from your income on your Indiana tax return." It also mentions I can visit https://www.in.gov/dor/individual-income-taxes/form-1099-8 for FAQs or use Indiana's new e-services portal called INTIME (Indiana Taxpayer Information Management Engine) to view my individual tax account and message them with questions. But I'm confused because I'm still waiting on my federal refund from 2023! I filed in February, verified through id.me months ago, and keep seeing these 571 and 290 codes on my transcript with no DDD. Does this 1099-G from Indiana have anything to do with my federal refund delay? Is anyone else experiencing these long delays with the same transcript codes? I check WMR obsessively and it's driving me crazy.
Whatever u do DONT IGNORE IT! Thats the worst thing u can do frfr. Stay on top of it and youll be fine
Had a similar CP75 audit situation last year - they definitely won't take your wages right away. The IRS has to go through a whole process before garnishment. First they'll send more notices, then offer payment plans. If you do owe the $9,193, they'll likely offset your 2024 refund first before considering wage garnishment. The key is responding to the audit with all your documentation - school records for your kids, proof they lived with you, income verification, etc. Don't let the scary language freak you out too much, just gather your paperwork and respond within 30 days. You got this! šŖ
I encountered this exact same situation! TurboTax is really buggy with amended returns. When I e-filed mine through TT, it also gave me a 1040-V even though I was due a refund of about $340. I ignored it completely and still got my refund (though it took almost 4 months to arrive).
4 months?! Omg that's insane. Did you ever call to check on it or did you just wait it out?
I'm dealing with this exact same issue right now! Filed my amended return last week and got that confusing 1040-V message even though I'm expecting a refund of around $450. It's so frustrating when the software gives you contradictory information. Reading through all these responses has been super helpful - sounds like this is a common TurboTax glitch and I can safely ignore the payment voucher request since my 1040-X clearly shows a refund amount on line 20. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences! It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who's encountered this confusing situation. Now I just need to be patient and wait for the processing... though hearing it can take 4+ months is pretty discouraging!
I went through this exact same frustrating experience! The good news is that you're absolutely right to ignore the 1040-V - it's definitely a TurboTax glitch that happens way more often than it should. Since your 1040-X shows a refund on line 20, you're all set. Just a heads up though - while 4+ months sounds terrible, it really varies. Mine took about 18 weeks, but I've seen people get theirs in 12-14 weeks too. The IRS has been pretty backed up with amended returns, so patience is key. You can check the status using their "Where's My Amended Return" tool online after about 3 weeks from when you filed. Hang in there - your refund will come! The waiting is definitely the worst part of this whole process.
Has anyone thought about the Zelle reporting requirements? I heard they're gonna start reporting transfers over $600 to the IRS starting this year??
That's for payment platforms like Venmo, PayPal, etc when used for goods and services. Family transfers aren't subject to the same reporting. Even if Zelle reports the transactions, you can easily explain these aren't income but just helping manage family finances.
I'm in a very similar situation with my elderly father - he gets about $1,400 monthly between Social Security and a small pension, and I help manage his bills the same way. After reading through all these responses, I feel much more confident that we're handling things correctly from a tax perspective. One thing I'd add is that it might be worth keeping a simple log of the major expenses you're paying on her behalf (rent, utilities, groceries, etc.) just in case. I use a basic spreadsheet that shows the Zelle transfer in, then the bills paid out, and any cash I give him for personal spending. It takes maybe 5 minutes a month but gives me peace of mind. The separate account idea is interesting too - might be worth exploring if the current system ever becomes more complicated. But honestly, what you're doing sounds very reasonable and the tax implications seem minimal based on what others have shared here.
Based on my experience this tax season, SBTPG updates seem to follow a loose pattern but aren't entirely predictable. I've been checking multiple times daily and noticed updates most commonly around 6-7am ET and 2-3pm ET on weekdays. However, I've also seen random updates at odd hours like 11pm or 4am. What's really frustrating is that sometimes they'll go 2-3 days without any updates, then suddenly show multiple status changes in one day. I'd recommend checking your IRS transcript (you can get it free from irs.gov) to see if there's movement there that SBTPG hasn't reflected yet. The transcript is usually more current than SBTPG's portal. Also, don't stress too much about the exact timing - once your refund is sent from the IRS, it typically takes 1-3 business days to hit your account regardless of when SBTPG updates their status.
This is really helpful! I'm new to tracking refunds through SBTPG and had no idea about checking the IRS transcript directly. I've been driving myself crazy refreshing their portal every few hours expecting real-time updates. The 6-7am and 2-3pm pattern you mentioned aligns with what I've been seeing too - I just didn't realize it was actually a pattern until you pointed it out! Going to check my transcript now instead of obsessing over the SBTPG portal. Thanks for the reassurance about the 1-3 business day timeline once it's sent from the IRS.
I've been monitoring SBTPG updates for my clients this season and can confirm they typically update 2-3 times daily during business hours, but it's not consistent. From what I've observed, major updates usually happen around 6:00 AM ET, 2:00 PM ET, and sometimes around 8:00 PM ET on weekdays. However, weekends are much quieter - sometimes no updates at all from Friday evening through Monday morning. One thing to keep in mind is that SBTPG often lags behind the actual IRS processing by 24-48 hours, so your refund might already be approved and sent even if their portal shows "processing." I'd recommend checking your IRS transcript directly at irs.gov for the most current status. Also, larger refunds sometimes trigger additional verification steps that can cause delays, but SBTPG doesn't always communicate this clearly in their status updates.

Ugh I feel your pain! Been waiting since March 2023 myself with similar codes. That 1099-G from Indiana is totally separate from your federal refund - it's just saying you got a state refund in 2024 for your 2023 taxes, which you might need to report as income on your 2024 federal return if you itemized deductions. It has nothing to do with your federal refund delay. The 571/290 codes are actually good signs though - means they released a hold and made an adjustment. You should hopefully see movement soon! š¤

ā¢Thanks for explaining that about the 1099-G! I was so confused thinking it was connected to my federal delay somehow. Good to know the codes are actually positive signs - gives me some hope after almost a year of waiting! š

I totally feel your frustration! Been in a similar situation myself. Those codes 571 and 290 are actually good signs - the 571 means they released a previous hold on your account, and 290 indicates they made some kind of adjustment to your return. This usually means your refund is in the final stages of processing. Regarding the Indiana 1099-G, that's completely separate from your federal refund delay. Since you received a state refund in 2024 for your 2023 taxes, Indiana is required to send you this form. If you itemized deductions on your 2023 federal return and claimed state tax payments, you might need to report some of that $1106 refund as income on your 2024 federal return (the one you'll file this year). The federal delay with those codes typically resolves within 2-4 weeks, so hopefully you'll see that 846 refund code with a DDD soon! Keep checking your transcript rather than WMR - it's more accurate. Hang in there! šŖ
