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.

What does this mean because my 16 weeks up on June 2 that's what the irs told me

Rosa, if the IRS told you 16 weeks ending June 2nd, that sounds like you're dealing with a more complex review than the standard 570/971 codes discussed here. That timeframe suggests either an identity verification case, amended return processing, or earned income credit review. These longer reviews are completely separate from the typical 14-45 day holds we're tracking in this thread. I'd recommend calling back to confirm exactly which department is handling your case and what specific documentation they might need from you. The 16-week timeframe is their standard response for certain review types, but sometimes cases resolve earlier if you stay proactive about following up.

Thanks for starting this tracking thread! I'm dealing with the exact same situation - 570 and 971 codes both dated March 10, 2025. This is actually my second year with these codes, and last year they resolved after 19 days, so I'm cautiously optimistic. What's interesting is that my transcript shows cycle code 20251405, which typically indicates a weekly processing cycle. I've been checking daily at around 6am when the system updates. No mail notice yet, but based on the timeline patterns others have shared, I'm expecting it to arrive within the next few days. I'll definitely keep this thread updated with any changes to help establish those correlations you mentioned. The post-divorce factor might actually work in your favor - the IRS often flags returns with filing status changes for routine verification rather than anything concerning.

I'm in a very similar situation with 570/971 codes dated March 10, 2025! This is my first time dealing with these codes and honestly, I've been pretty anxious about it. Reading through everyone's experiences here is incredibly helpful - especially seeing the range of timelines people have experienced. I'm particularly interested in the cycle code patterns that @Heather Tyson mentioned. My transcript shows cycle code 20251405 as well, so it sounds like we might be processed in the same batch. I haven't received any mail notice yet either, but based on what others have shared, I'm trying to be patient and check my transcript consistently rather than obsessively. One question for the group: has anyone noticed if the day of the week that these codes appear affects the processing timeline? Mine appeared on a Monday, and I'm wondering if that makes any difference in how quickly they move through the system. I'll definitely keep everyone posted on any updates - this community tracking approach is brilliant for understanding these patterns better than trying to decode everything alone!

Count me in for tracking! I have the exact same codes (570 and 971) both dated March 10, 2025, so we're definitely in the same processing batch. This is my first time dealing with these codes and honestly, I was starting to panic until I found this thread. My cycle code is also 20251405, which confirms we're all being processed together. I've been checking my transcript religiously every morning around 6am based on the advice here, but no changes yet. Haven't received any mail notice either, but from reading everyone's experiences, it sounds like that's normal for the first week or so. Really hoping we follow the shorter timeline patterns rather than the longer ones! I'll definitely keep everyone updated with any changes. Thanks for creating this tracking system - it's so much better than trying to figure this out alone. The community support here is amazing, and it's reassuring to know that so many others have gone through this exact situation successfully.

Adding myself to the March 10th tracking group! I also have 570 and 971 codes with identical dates of March 10, 2025, and my cycle code is 20251405 as well. This is actually my second time dealing with these codes - last year I had a similar situation that resolved in about 23 days, so I'm trying to stay patient based on that experience. What's interesting is that last year my codes appeared in mid-February and this year they're appearing in March, but the cycle code pattern looks identical. I've been checking my transcript every morning around 5:45am and haven't seen any changes yet, but no mail notice either which seems consistent with everyone else's timeline. Really appreciate this tracking thread - it's so helpful to have others going through the exact same situation with the same dates and codes. I'll definitely keep everyone posted on any updates. Based on my previous experience, I'm expecting to see movement sometime in the next 2-3 weeks, but it's reassuring to have this community to compare notes with!
