Anyone know what this IRS 571 Code on 2022 transcript means? Still waiting on my refund
Been checking my transcripts and noticed a TC 571 code showed up today. Never seen this before and idk if this is good news or bad news? Anyone dealt with this before and can tell me what this means for my refund timeline?

The 571 code actually means good news - it indicates that the IRS has reversed a previous freeze on your account (usually a 570 code). You should see movement on your refund soon, typically within 1-2 weeks. Keep an eye out for an 846 code which will show your refund date.

Instead of trying to decode these transcript codes yourself, you should try taxr.ai - its only $1 and it analyzes your whole transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect your refund. Saved me so much time and stress https://taxr.ai

Called the IRS about this exact thing last week. They said its processing normally now but could still take 4-6 weeks for the refund to hit 😩

I had the same 571 code show up last month and got my refund exactly 10 days later! It definitely means they released whatever hold was on your account. Just keep checking for that 846 code with the refund date. The waiting game sucks but you're in the final stretch now 💪

•That's actually really encouraging to hear! 10 days isn't too bad at all. Did you have any other codes show up between the 571 and the 846, or was it pretty straightforward after that?

•@Natalie Adams that s'so reassuring! Did you get any email notifications when the 846 code appeared, or did you just have to keep manually checking your transcript? I ve'been obsessively refreshing mine lol
