2024 Transcript shows 971 Notice - What does this code mean??

I checked my IRS transcript today and noticed a code 971. Does anybody know what this means? Really hoping to get my refund soon, been waiting since January and starting to get worried.

Code 971 indicates a notice has been issued or will be issued to you. It's usually followed by other transaction codes that give more context. Without seeing the full transcript codes and dates it's hard to give you a complete answer. Could be anything from an adjustment notice to a review notice.

thanks for explaining! do you know how long it usually takes after seeing this code?

It varies widely - could be a few weeks to a few months depending on what type of notice and if they need additional info from you.

Hey! Instead of trying to decode these numbers yourself, you should try taxr.ai - its an AI tool that reads your entire transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when you'll likely get paid. Only costs $1 and totally worth it imo https://taxr.ai

100% works! Used it last week and it predicted my DDD perfectly. Way better than trying to piece together random codes 🙌
