570 Code dated 3/4/2024 with No 971 - When Will My Transcript Update?

The 570 is a freeze code. Without the 971 notice, it usually means they're just verifying something internally. In my experience, these typically resolve within 30 days. You're at 23 days now, so you're likely close. Check your transcript again this coming Friday - that's when most updates happen. The lack of a 971 is actually good news - means they don't need anything from you.

I'm so frustrated for you! I had a 570 code on March 1st and was FREAKING OUT because I really needed my refund. I checked literally every single day and nothing changed for 27 days straight! Then suddenly on day 28 - BOOM - everything updated at once and I got my refund 2 days later. The waiting is the absolute worst part! Have you tried calling them yet?

I went through something similar this filing season! Here's what happened with mine: 1. Filed on February 2nd 2. Got accepted same day 3. Saw 570 code appear March 5th 4. No 971 code appeared either 5. Waited exactly 31 days with no changes 6. Transcript suddenly updated April 5th 7. Refund deposited April 8th I was shocked by how complicated it all was! The IRS systems seem to batch process these holds in 30-day cycles. You're at 23 days, so you're approaching that window. Hang in there!

Have you tried calling the IRS directly? The 570 without 971 could mean several things - they might be verifying income, checking for identity issues, or just backlogged. When I needed answers about my 570 code last month, I tried calling for 3 days straight but couldn't get through. Then I used Claimyr (https://www.claimyr.com) and got connected to an IRS agent in about 15 minutes. They confirmed my issue was just a random verification that would resolve automatically. Have you noticed any other codes on your transcript besides the 570?

Be careful with that 570 code! I had one appear on March 12th, 2023 and I made the mistake of just waiting. After exactly 45 days with no update, I finally called on April 26th and found out they needed verification documents from me, but the letter had never arrived! I ended up not getting my refund until June 3rd. Don't be like me - if you don't see movement by April 15th (that's 42 days from your code date), definitely call them to check what's happening!

I know it feels like your refund is stuck in the IRS version of the Bermuda Triangle right now, but don't worry too much! 😂 I had a 570 code on February 18th with no 971 either. My refund showed up exactly 32 days later without any additional transcript updates beforehand. The IRS works in mysterious ways, but they usually get there eventually. Just keep checking on Fridays and Wednesdays - those are the main update days. Your graduation money is coming soon!

I'm in a similar boat! Got my 570 code on March 6th (so 21 days now) and also no 971 notice. Reading everyone's experiences here is actually really reassuring - sounds like most people see movement around the 28-32 day mark. I've been obsessively checking my transcript too, but I'm going to try to limit myself to just Fridays and Wednesdays like Sophia suggested. The waiting game is brutal when you need that money! Fingers crossed we both see updates soon. Keep us posted on what happens with yours!

This is so helpful to read everyone's experiences! I'm dealing with something similar - got a 570 code on March 8th (so 19 days ago) and have been checking my transcript obsessively. Like you Matthew, I really need this refund soon for some unexpected medical bills. It's reassuring to see that most people here got their refunds resolved in the 28-32 day timeframe even without a 971 notice. I'm going to try to be more patient and just check on Fridays like others suggested. The waiting is definitely the hardest part when you're counting on that money! Thanks for sharing your situation - it helps to know we're not alone in this.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Got my 570 code on March 10th (so 17 days ago) and like everyone else here, no 971 notice either. Reading through all these experiences is actually making me feel so much better - it seems like the 28-32 day window is pretty consistent for most people. I was getting really anxious because I need my refund to help with some car repairs, but seeing that Matthew, Oliver, and Aisha are all in similar boats with similar timelines gives me hope. It's wild how the IRS just leaves us all hanging without any real communication about what's happening! I'm going to follow the advice about only checking on Fridays and Wednesdays instead of obsessing over it daily. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories - this community is a lifesaver when you're stressed about money!

I'm completely new to dealing with taxes (just filed for the first time this year), but reading through everyone's experiences here has been incredibly reassuring! It's fascinating how consistent the timelines are - Matthew at 23 days, Oliver at 21, Aisha at 19, and Liam at 17 days, all with 570 codes and no 971 notices. As someone who's still learning about all these codes and processes, this thread has been like a crash course in IRS procedures. The 28-32 day resolution window that keeps coming up across different people's stories seems really promising. I don't have a refund pending myself, but I wanted to thank everyone for sharing their experiences so openly - it's creating such a helpful resource for people navigating this stressful situation. Wishing all of you quick resolutions and hoping those refunds come through soon!

This thread has been so incredibly helpful! I'm new to this community and dealing with my first major tax issue. Got a 570 code on March 7th (20 days ago) and like everyone else here, no 971 notice. I was honestly panicking until I found this discussion - seeing the consistent 28-32 day resolution timeline across so many different people's experiences has given me so much peace of mind. It's amazing how the IRS just leaves us all in the dark with these codes! I need my refund for some student loan payments, so the waiting has been really stressful. But reading Matthew's situation and seeing Oliver, Aisha, and Liam all going through the same thing with such similar timelines makes me feel like I'm not alone in this. Going to follow everyone's advice about only checking Fridays and Wednesdays instead of driving myself crazy with daily checks. Thanks to this whole community for sharing your experiences - you've probably saved my sanity!

As a newcomer to this community, I have to say this thread has been incredibly informative! I'm currently dealing with my first 570 code situation - got mine on March 11th (so 16 days ago) and like everyone else here, no 971 notice. I was completely lost about what this meant until I found this discussion. Reading through Matthew's original post and seeing how many others (Oliver at 21 days, Aisha at 19, Liam at 17, Zoe at 20) are all experiencing nearly identical situations with such similar timelines is both reassuring and eye-opening. The consistent 28-32 day resolution pattern that keeps appearing across everyone's stories gives me hope that we're all approaching the light at the end of the tunnel. I need my refund to help cover some unexpected home repairs, so the waiting has been nerve-wracking, but this community has provided so much valuable insight. Going to follow the advice about limiting transcript checks to Fridays and Wednesdays instead of my current daily obsession! Thank you all for sharing your experiences so openly - it's made this stressful process so much more manageable.

As someone completely new to this community and filing taxes for the first time, this thread has been absolutely invaluable! I'm not currently dealing with a 570 code myself, but reading through everyone's experiences has been like getting a masterclass in how the IRS actually works. The consistency across all your timelines is remarkable - Matthew at 23 days, Oliver at 21, Aisha at 19, Zoe at 20, Liam at 17, and Anastasia at 16 days, all with the same 570 code and no 971 notice pattern. What strikes me most is how the 28-32 day resolution window keeps appearing in story after story from different people. It really seems like the IRS has some kind of internal batched review process that just takes time, regardless of individual circumstances. I'm bookmarking this thread for future reference because the advice about checking transcripts only on Fridays and Wednesdays (instead of daily obsessing) and the insights about what different codes mean have been so educational. Thank you all for being so open about your situations - you're creating an amazing resource for people navigating these stressful financial situations. Hoping everyone sees their refunds come through soon!
