Anyone with 570/971 codes on 2024 transcripts finally get their DDD yet?

Yes, I had those exact codes a few weeks ago. The 570 code means your return is on hold for review and the 971 means they're sending you a letter explaining why. In most cases, it's just verification of something on your return. For me, it was verifying my dependents. They sent a letter asking for additional info, I sent it back, and exactly 3 weeks later I got my DDD. My codes were dated 4/18 and 4/25, and I got my DDD of 5/16 about 3 weeks after responding to their letter. Just wait for the letter to arrive and respond ASAP with whatever they request. I had a similar amount with EIC and Child Tax Credit.

I was in the exact same situation last month and was going crazy trying to understand all the tax codes and what they meant for my refund. I finally tried this tool called taxr.ai and it was a game-changer. It analyzed my transcript, explained every code in plain English, and gave me an accurate timeline for when I'd receive my refund. It even explained exactly why my refund was delayed and what to expect next. Saved me hours of stress and googling. The site is https://taxr.ai if you want to check it out.

I went through this EXACT same thing in March. Was pulling my hair out trying to get someone on the phone. After 3 weeks of calling that useless IRS number and never getting through, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual human IRS agent within like 30 minutes. The agent told me exactly why my refund was held up (they were verifying my self-employment income) and what I needed to do. Got my DDD about 10 days after talking to them. Seriously, trying to call the IRS directly is a complete waste of time.

I had those codes on April 26th and May 3rd. Just got my direct deposit today (May 28th). So it took about a month from when the codes appeared. I never received any notice in the mail even though the 971 is supposed to mean they sent something. The amount changed a little bit too - they adjusted my refund down by $120. No idea why but I'm just happy to finally have the money. Hang in there!

The IRS is so backed up this year its ridiculous. My sister and I filed the same day in march, she got her refund 2 weeks later, mine has been stuck with those codes for 7 weeks now. Finally got the notice yesterday - they want proof of my business expenses. Such a pain.

Here's what those codes actually mean: 570 = Refund hold 971 = Notice issued (letter sent to you) There are a few common reasons for these codes showing up together: 1. Math error on your return they're correcting 2. Identity verification needed 3. Income verification 4. Credit verification (especially with EIC/CTC) If the hold is just for a math correction, you'll usually see code 571 (resolved) appear within 1-2 weeks, followed by 846 (refund issued). If they need verification from you, you need to wait for the letter and respond right away. Check your account transcript for TC 420 code - that means audit, which is a longer process. Hope this helps!

the IRS is a JOKE this year. I've had those codes since february and still nothing. called a million times. sent the documents they asked for twice. still nothing. this system is completely broken.

It took me exactly 33 days from seeing those codes to getting my DDD. They reduced my refund by $212 but never sent me a notice explaining why. At this point I'm just happy to get anything back lol

If your refund is for $7400, its almost certainly going to get reviewed. Any refund over $5k usually triggers additional verification. I went through the same last year. They're checking that you qualify for EIC and child tax credits. Just wait for the letter - it'll tell you exactly what they need. For what it's worth, I had these codes on 3/10/24 and 3/17/24, got letter on 3/20, responded with documents on 3/25, and got DDD on 4/12. So about a month total from codes to money.

I've been an accountant for 15 years, and I can tell you the IRS is more backed up and understaffed than I've ever seen. 570/971 combo usually means manual review. With the amount of your refund including EIC/CTC, they're probably verifying eligibility for those credits. The good news is that these reviews are generally pretty quick once they get to them - usually 3-6 weeks total. The bad news is there's nothing you can do to speed it up except wait for their letter and respond immediately with exactly what they ask for.

Just got my DD this morning after having those codes for a month and a half. never got any letter despite the 971 code. They reduced my refund by $52 dollars (random) but at least it finally came through. hang in there!!

YALL NEED TO USE CLAIMYR!!! i swear this is not an ad. i was in exactly this situation - 570/971 codes, panicking because i needed my refund for car repairs. Spent THREE DAYS trying to call IRS direct. found claimyr.com and got a callback from an IRS agent in 30 minutes. agent was able to see that my return was just stuck in verification because i had a new dependent this year. she processed it manually right there on the call. DDD showed up 4 days later. Best $20 I've ever spent to get my $5k refund.

This entire tax system is BROKEN. why should we have to be detectives trying to figure out all these stupid codes? why cant they just clearly communicate whats happening with OUR MONEY? so frustrating.

i was in the same boat literally 2 weeks ago. Those codes appeared 4/30 and 5/7 on my account. I called using claimyr.com and got through to an agent who told me they were verifying my w2 income because there was a small discrepancy with what my employer reported. She manually verified it during the call and my DDD showed up 5/21. Refund hit my account yesterday (5/25). talking to an agent directly was the only thing that worked after weeks of nothing happening.
