971 Notice Issued - Owe IRS $581 - When Will I Get My Refund?

The 971 code means they're sending you a notice about your account. Since you have a balance due of $581.26, they'll likely offset this amount from your refund. You should receive the notice within 2-3 weeks explaining the adjustment. The remaining refund amount should be released shortly after that, assuming there aren't any other issues.

Hey instead of playing detective with these codes, I started using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. For $1 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Way better than guessing tbh https://taxr.ai

bruh the irs is straight 🤡 these days. took 6 months to get mine last year

Call the IRS first thing at 7am EST. Thats the only way to get through without waiting 2 hrs

Did you check if the $581 is from a previous year? Sometimes they'll hold current refunds for old debts

My transcript had both 971 and 290 codes. The notice basically said they adjusted my refund amount. After that it took about 3 weeks to get the money deposited
