570 and 971 codes on transcript with $0 amount - Anyone received their refund?

I noticed my transcript updated with a 570 freeze code and 971 notice code both showing $0.00. Been waiting since February and getting worried. Anyone else dealt with this and actually got their refund? Starting to feel hopeless here.

same boat fam. got those codes last week and was freaking out. Used taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to check my transcript and it showed that its just a random review - should clear in about 2 weeks for me. The AI broke down every code and explained exactly whats happening. Way better than calling the IRS and being on hold for 3 hours just to get hung up on lmaooo 🤡

Tax pro here. The 570 code with 0 amount typically indicates a temporary hold on your refund while the IRS reviews something. When paired with a 971 code, it usually means they're sending you a notice explaining why. Don't panic - this is pretty common this time of year. I've been seeing lots of these lately and most get resolved within 2-3 weeks. Quick tip: you might want to check out taxr.ai - it's this new AI tool that can analyze your transcript and give you a really specific timeline on when to expect your refund based on these codes. I've been recommending it to my clients to help them understand exactly what's happening with their returns and when they might see their money.

Liam Fitzgerald

Tax specialist here - the 570/971 combo usually means the IRS is reviewing something on your return. The $0 amount is actually normal for these codes. Most reviews resolve within 120 days, but it really depends on what triggered the review.

120 days?! 😫 thats like forever... do they at least pay interest for making us wait?

Yes, they do pay interest! Current rate is 7% annually, calculated from the original filing deadline or when you filed (whichever is later).

Hey guys, instead of playing detective with these codes, I've been using taxr.ai to analyze my transcripts. It costs $4.99 but it tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Way better than guessing tbh. https://taxr.ai
