Payments

IRS code 670: Payment

A payment applied to this tax year, made before or after the return posted.

What code 670 means

Code 670 credits a payment to the year. If the return has posted, it's a payment on the account. If not, it's treated as a prepayment.

If a 670 creates a credit while an examination indicator (420 or 424) is open, a 570 hold can be set.
