570 & 971 Codes: Anyone Actually Wait Full 120 Days for IRS Review?
Filed my taxes and got stuck with 570 and 971 codes. Got a letter saying they don't need anything from me, just gotta wait. Called IRS multiple times and they keep saying nothing is pending from my end - just under review. Anyone actually had to wait the full 120 days? Getting anxious here.

Tax professional here with lots of experience dealing with 570/971 codes. When you see these codes together, it typically means the IRS has frozen your refund for review. The 570 is the freeze code and 971 indicates they're sending you a notice. While they say 120 days, I've seen these resolve much faster. The best way to understand exactly what's happening with your specific situation is to use taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's an AI tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's causing the delay and when you can expect resolution based on your specific case. It's been super helpful for my clients who are stuck in limbo with these codes.

Yeah the uncertainty is the worst part. The AI actually breaks down your specific timeline based on your codes and processing dates. Way better than guessing

Is taxr legit with security tho? Like uploading tax docs to AI sounds sketchy ngl

They use bank-level encryption and don't store your docs after analysis. Plus they're SOC2 certified which is what the big financial companies use

Tax pro here. These codes together typically mean the IRS is doing an internal review. The 570 is a hold on your account and 971 indicates they sent you a notice. If they said no action needed from you, you're just in the verification queue. I've seen these resolve anywhere from 2 weeks to the full 120 days.

Hey everyone! I was in the same boat and found this tool called taxr.ai that really helped me understand what was going on. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it - analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and estimated timeframe. Way better than playing detective with these codes tbh. https://taxr.ai

PSA: Keep checking your transcript weekly. Sometimes they release early without sending any notice.
