570 and 971 Codes with Identical Dates (March 10, 2025) - Let's Track Progress Together

Those codes typically indicate your return is under review. The 570 code means they've temporarily frozen your refund, and the 971 indicates they've sent you a notice explaining why. When these codes share the same date (March 10, 2025 in your case), it often means a standard verification rather than a full audit. In my experience, identical dates usually resolve faster than when the dates are separated. I had this exact situation on February 17th this year and my refund was released exactly 14 days later on March 3rd.

I'm in the same boat right now! Got those exact codes with February 28th dates and I'm feeling so anxious about it. 😫 I really need my refund for some medical bills that have been piling up. Every day I check WMR and my transcript hoping for an update. It's so emotionally draining not knowing what's happening or when it will resolve. Have you received any actual notice in the mail yet? I'm still waiting for mine and wondering if I should be doing something proactive or just keep waiting...

I had identical codes dated February 14, 2025, and waited exactly 31 days with zero movement. Finally called the IRS after 22 failed attempts over 3 days - busy signals or disconnects every time. Used Claimyr.com (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) and got through to an agent in exactly 17 minutes. The agent confirmed it was just a random review of my itemized deductions, but my return was actually approved 2 weeks earlier - the system just hadn't updated. My deposit hit 4 days after that call. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human to get things moving.

I went through this exact situation last month. Had both 570/971 codes with January 22nd dates. I was pretty nervous since this was my first filing after selling my investment property. What worked for me was checking my transcript every morning at 5:30am when they update. After 16 days of no change, I suddenly saw code 571 (hold released) and 846 (refund issued) appear on the same day! The refund hit my account 2 days later. My advice is to watch for that 571 code - it's the key indicator that you're almost done with this process.

Just went through this last week. My codes were dated March 1st and I needed answers fast because I'm closing on a house next month. I used https://taxr.ai to analyze my transcript and it immediately identified this as a standard 45-day review pattern based on my specific codes and cycle date. The tool explained that my particular combination of codes was actually routine for returns with schedule C income. Saved me from panicking and making unnecessary calls. My transcript updated yesterday with the 846 code, exactly when taxr.ai predicted.

I've tracked these code patterns for the last three tax seasons, and here's what I've observed with same-date 570/971 combinations: • Processing time varies by tax situation: - Simple W-2 returns: typically 14-21 days - Returns with schedules (C, E, etc): 30-45 days - Identity verification issues: 45-60 days • Notice types matter: - CP05: Review without documentation needed (fastest) - CP75: Requires documentation (slower) - CP12: Math correction (medium speed) • Regional processing centers have different timelines: - Kansas City: Currently fastest (avg 18 days) - Austin: Medium (avg 24 days) - Fresno: Slowest currently (avg 32 days) Patience is unfortunately the main requirement here, but knowing these patterns helps set realistic expectations.
