After 9 months my return was finally processed….however my transcript says code:  971 notice issued and then  570 additional account action pending Not sure what this means, but hoping a refund date will be added soon. Anyone have these show up on their transcript before they got their refund?

Those codes typically show up when the IRS needs to review something. Code 971 means they sent you a notice explaining what's going on, and 570 means they're holding your refund while they look into something. Usually this happens with complicated returns or when they need to verify income/credits. I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what these codes mean for your specific situation and when you can expect your refund. It's been super helpful for people in similar situations to understand what's actually going on with their return.

971 says you are getting a letter. They may be requesting more information.

I got this also the changed my return as well and said four weeks in the letter I got after checking my transcript. Still no refund yet...... I got my letter August like 20th

The 570 code stops your return processing and indicates additional liability is pending. Many things could cause this. For examples: unemployment benefit issues, recovery credit or stimulus payments don’t match, dependency questions, etc.   Code 971 means you have qualified to receive a tax refund.

Hey everyone I am one of the people who have the 570 971 codes I’ve been digging doing research I pulled up my transcripts again and read everything I noticed this , I have a code 150 on mine as well where they deducted some money. This could be a solution 🤞🏾

Let me break it down to you. 150 means tax you have already paid in for 04/15/2022 570 means credit freeze and it probably will lift once path lifts 810 freeze on account 811 reverse freeze 420 exam review & 424 audit 846 with a date baby it's payday‼️ A negative sign before your amount means they owe you and that 04/15 /2022 by your account means end of tax year you have filed. N/A or 🌟 by your 2021 account or Transcipt return account means it hasn't processed yet. If it disappears and the N/A is still there it's still hasn't processed. Being Processed with a 152 is good ****Still being processed with 152 can be good and mean it's doing just what it is saying and may take a little over your 21 days to finish processing. You may need ID verification or some documents may be missing /error. You will be notified by mail if you need verification or if an error occurred and you may need more supporting documents.*** The long generic message saying a delay and it may take a little longer to process is a new message just informing you on the delay. Mainly the early filers are getting this message because the 21 day from when you were accepted has approached.

If you have 971 and 570 codes most likely ctc or stimulus was entered wrong. Same happened with me updated to 971 and 570 last Friday updated today with a ddd for 2/24 with codes 571 and 846 they increased my amount also

Did anyone have both the 570 code and the 971 and get a refund date in a week or so? I finally updated on Friday with a lesser amount showing on what my proposed refund will be, and apparently a letter is coming. I am hoping these codes sort themselves out and a refund date is next, but I don’t know?

Got a 570 code when I checked saturday. No 971 code but just got this in the mail today 😭🙄 first year I have had a holdup . I’m on the path message. Hoping it’s just because I claimed 2 new dependents this year and they adjusted my stimulus payment when I was filing

So I called and asked about my 570 code she said the only thing she sees on my account is that I had to be recertified for the EIC ACTC , there’s nothing pending on my account they just have to hold the refund until after Feb 15 , a date will be provided when it’s done processing… so maybe the 570 is a hold for path 💁🏼‍♀️

I have the 570 code as well it’s because my stimulus amount was entered wrong the gentleman told me it will fix its self this week and I’ll have my refund by the 28th

I have 570 for my injured spouse form. Earliest however I got this code usually end of March for me so I'm hopeful

Ok so 971 is just a letter explaining why they added or reduced to your amount ! Nothing bad it’s just a NOTICE! The 570 is a hold on your refund if you filed correctly it will resolve itself in 7 days . After the 7 days you should get a DDD I talked to a live IRS agent and he told me these exact words . He also noted that I MAY take 8 weeks to resolve but usually it only takes 1 or 2 weeks if nothing is wrong with your tax file . Wait a week for the next mass update if it doesn’t change I would call ! Hopefully I gave you some comfort 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi Allen. The above comments are correct. If you don’t see a refund date added within the next few days I would recommend giving them a call to see what the issue is. The fastest way to do that is with Claimyr.com. They reduce the hold time for you and have an agent on the phone within minutes of receiving a callback from them. They even give you 10 additional calls if you would like to speak to more than one agent. Good luck, hope to see an update from you soon!

Y’all what is going on. I have the same codes and I just need to know when is our refund coming. I have been In an emotional mess since Friday. Like many people we are depending on this money.

People are saying we have to wait on that 971 letter to sign and return that we agree of the refund change and it can take up too 120 days……. Turbo tax should have said something I am tight when I do taxes and I entered every stimulus every w2 every tax document correct. You can’t call the irs or anything. Helllllp!!!!

What did supposed to mean I already identify myself

To all those having trouble reaching a human at the IRS. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/wMf29SmRU-I

Hello! Did my taxes on TurboTax it was rejected and then accepted. My taxes were accepted three days later now my transcript is saying a 971 but no amount. And No tax return file!I claim the Ctc and the eic. How long will it take to process! Help first time seeing this!! HELP

Same here code 971 with 0.00 and at bottom says no returned filed 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hello. I Filed my taxes Jan 14 2022. Received letter indicating I should prove my identity due to mismatch in witholding which I did respond accurately, then received another letter Oct 18 requesting for additional documents which I sent all request via fax. I filed my 2023 taxes got a DD with no problems but my 2021 taxes still processing with code 570&971 same date 02/20/2023. I haven’t received any letter or update on transcript until now no DD either just 570&970 with same dates WMR says my refund adjusted to 0. When I called they told me irs place my tax as fraudulent for mismatch income report. I told them to release my payment so I could make a payment via website, rather than amend my return which would take longer delay time. Has anyone had same issue, but I presume after 9 months I should get a DD and transcript updated. Any help please.
