Transaction Codes (TC) are essential three-digit identifiers used by the IRS to track and manage transactions on taxpayer accounts within the Master File system. These codes play a critical role in accounting controls, ensuring accurate recording of debits, credits, and other actions. Each Transaction Code is integral for posting transactions, generating reports, and identifying specific actions when accessing taxpayer records.
Here’s a breakdown of their key functions:
- Identification and History: Transaction Codes (TC) identify each transaction processed and maintain a comprehensive history of actions on a taxpayer’s account.
- Accounting Controls: They ensure proper accounting controls by recording debits and credits accurately.
- Computer Posting: Each Transaction Codes (TC) triggers the computer to update the Master File with the transaction details.
- Reporting and Extraction: Transaction Codes (TC) enable the compilation of reports and facilitate the retrieval of transaction information from the Master File.
Transaction Codes record various actions like debits and credits on taxpayer accounts/modules.
Certain Transaction Codes, such as TCs 149 or smaller, affect only the Entity Module.
Some Transaction Codes applied to tax modules (e.g., TC 570, TC 470) neither debit nor credit but serve other critical functions:
- They can prevent credits from refunding or offsetting.
- They may delay subsequent notices and other computer outputs.
- They generate information documents and contain item adjustment details.
- They can impose Freeze Conditions on accounts.
The transaction code 846 is the code that every taxpayer eagerly anticipates. This code indicates that a refund has been issued, signaling that their wait is nearly over.
Access to tax transcripts is essential for taxpayers as it allows them to track IRS transactions and gain insight into when they might receive letters, additional information, or their direct deposit date. By regularly reviewing their transcripts, taxpayers can stay informed about the status of their refunds and any other actions taken by the IRS.
The IRS transaction codes are typically listed on a taxpayer’s account transcript. The transaction guide identifies many of the most often-used codes. You can click here to get your transcripts!
This is an example of an Account Transcript waiting for an 846 code to post after February 15 with the PATH ACT message
This account transcript confirms that the tax return has been accepted and is processing. However, if your transcript resembles this example before February 15th, you won’t receive a status confirmation until after that date. If additional information is needed, the IRS will send you a letter, or you can view your transcript online to check for further codes after February 15th.
Per the PATH ACT law, the IRS is restricted from issuing any tax refunds before mid-February each year. Typically, the first round of direct deposit dates starts appearing in taxpayers’ accounts during the first weekend after February 15th.
This is an example of an Account Transcript with more codes listed
While the IRS processes tax returns, the Explanation of Transactions can be updated at any time, providing more accurate updates on your tax account than the Where’s My Refund? website or app. If your account shows specific codes indicating holds or freezes, checking your transcript online weekly can provide timely updates.
If your account has a hold or freeze, you’ll need to wait for a release code to appear in the transaction list before you can expect to see an 846 Refund Issued code indicating that your refund has been processed. Regularly monitoring your transcript can help you stay informed about any changes or developments regarding your tax refund status.
The Transaction Code 570 Additional Account Action Pending will stop a refund from being issued until the impact of the action being taken on the account and the refund is determined and processed.
If you have a 570 code there is a good chance you may receive a letter explaining any adjustments to your account. If you have a 570 code on your account transcript you will need to wait for a 571 or 572 resolved additional account action code to post which will reverse the 570 code before you would see
This is an example of a Completed Account Transcript with an 846 Refund Issued Code
If you view your online or mailed transcripts and you see the 846 Refund Issued code under the Explanation of Transactions list. Your return is done processing and you should be receiving a Direct Deposit or Paper Check within 5-10 days.

Here’s a Full List of All the IRS Transaction Codes
Transaction Codes (TC) consist of three digits. They are used to identify a transaction being processed and to maintain a history of actions posted to a taxpayer’s account on the Master File. Every transaction processed by the IRS must contain a Transaction Code to maintain Accounting Controls of debits and credits, to cause the computer to post the transaction on the Master File, to permit the compilation of reports, and to identify the transaction when a transcript is extracted from the Master File. Transaction codes that are unique to IDRS are also included. The definitions of several transaction codes are necessarily changed since there will be no resequencing, offsetting, or computer-generated interest. In addition, all refunds will be scheduled manually with the refunds posted to the IMF using TC 846.

SO based on this. Should I hear something tomorrow or the next day? I filed in February and have been waiting. I did get a hold of somebody at the IRS a few weeks ago and it sounds like they were missing a 1099R. Since the date next to the 570 code is a future date what does that mean?
570 Additional account action pending 03-30-2020
