570 and 971 Codes: Did anyone need to verify income with pay stubs?
My transcript shows codes 570 and 971 from last week. Getting nervous about what this means. Anyone else deal with these codes? Did the IRS make you send in pay stubs or other verification? Just trying to figure out what to expect.

Those codes typically mean the IRS needs to verify something. 570 is a hold on your account and 971 means they sent you a notice. Check your mail carefully - they'll tell you exactly what they need. Most common reasons are identity verification or income verification. Don't panic, it's pretty routine these days.

•Usually takes 5-7 business days after the 971 date on transcript. Keep an eye on informed delivery if you have that set up!

Instead of playing detective with these codes, I started using taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. For $1 it tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect movement. Way better than guessing or waiting for notices tbh https://taxr.ai

•100% legit. It analyzed everything and told me exactly when I'd get my refund. Even caught some stuff I missed. Best dollar I ever spent fr fr 💯

I had those codes last month. They wanted my w2s and paystubs. Sent them in and got approved 2 weeks later
