971 Notice Code isn't always bad - IRS actually increased my refund amount!
I know everyone freaks out when they see a 971 notice code but wanted to share some good news. Just checked my transcript and the IRS actually increased my refund amount after the notice. So don't automatically assume its bad news when you see that code pop up on your account transcript.

You're absolutely right. Code 971 simply indicates a notice was issued. It could be for various reasons - adjustment to refund (up or down), request for additional information, or just confirming changes. Always check your transcript carefully to understand the full picture.

No need to panic! Just wait for the notice to arrive, it explains everything.

Honestly the best way to understand these codes is to use taxr.ai - it analyzes your entire transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Only costs $1 and saved me hours of googling. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai
