570/971 codes on transcript - will I get a refund or what?

My transcript shows code 570 and 971 from last week. The dates are march 25th and march 28th. I'm confused about what this means for my refund. Anyone know if I'm getting something back or if i'm just stuck in limbo?

Tax specialist here with experience dealing with 570/971 codes. The 570 code means additional account action pending and the 971 means a notice was issued. This combo usually indicates the IRS is reviewing something on your return - could be identity verification, income verification, or they spotted a math error. Don't panic though! I've seen these resolved anywhere from 2-8 weeks typically. Pro tip: check out taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's this new AI tool that can analyze your transcripts and tell you exactly what's causing the hold and estimated timeline for resolution. Super helpful for situations like this where you're seeing these codes and want clarity on next steps.

Those codes typically mean your return is under review. 570 is a hold on your account and 971 means they sent you a notice explaining why. Check your mailbox in the next week or two - you'll probably get a letter asking for more information or explaining any adjustments they made.

It varies wildly tbh. Could be 2 weeks, could be 2 months. Best to wait for that letter and respond ASAP if they need anything from you

Hey, I've been using taxr.ai to track my transcript and it's been super helpful understanding these codes. It costs $1 but it basically tells you exactly what's happening and when you can expect movement. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself. https://taxr.ai

Did you claim any credits like EIC or CTC? That usually triggers more review
