Code 570 (2/26) & 971 (3/4) - Any Daily Updaters Get Movement?

The 570 code (Additional Account Action Pending) followed by 971 (Notice Issued) with those specific dates typically indicates a refund hold with a notice being generated. The timing between your codes (7 days) suggests a standard verification process rather than an audit. Daily cycle updates usually post to transcripts between 3-5am EST, while weekly cycles update Thursday night/Friday morning. Your DLN (Document Locator Number) on your transcript will indicate your cycle - if the 4th and 5th digits are 01-04, you're on a daily cycle.

Did you claim any credits this year? My transcript showed 570 on 2/22 and 971 on 3/1, and I'm also waiting. I claimed exactly $3,750 in Child Tax Credit, and I'm wondering if that's what triggered the hold. I need this refund in exactly 18 days to pay my property taxes. Are you on cycle code 20241505 or something different?

Isn't it ridiculous how impossible it is to get someone at the IRS on the phone these days? I tried calling exactly 23 times last week about my 570/971 codes. Finally used Claimyr.com and got through in about 30 minutes. The agent confirmed my 971 notice was just asking for verification of income which I could handle online. Saved me weeks of wondering what was happening. Worth the fee considering how much time I wasted trying to call myself. https://www.claimyr.com

I was in this exact situation three weeks ago: • 570 code dated 2/12 • 971 code dated 2/19 • Daily cycle (confirmed by my DLN) • Checked transcript every morning at 6am My timeline: • Notice appeared in my IRS account after 4 days • Responded with requested info same day • Codes 571 and 846 appeared exactly 9 days later • Refund deposited 2 days after that I'm a bit worried this delay will affect my quarterly estimated payment schedule.

Have you gotten any physical mail from the IRS yet? Sometimes the 971 is just informational and other times it requires action. My sister had the same codes last month and never actually received anything in the mail, but her refund was processed anyway.

According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.5.6.4.7, the 570 freeze code temporarily prevents credit or refund processing while the 971 indicates that correspondence has been issued. Per IRM 5.19.9.2.3, daily cycle accounts typically update overnight, with transaction codes posting within 24-48 hours of processing. The specific notice you'll receive is likely a CP05, requesting verification of income, withholding, or credits claimed. This is standard procedure under the PATH Act provisions codified in IRC §6402(m) which mandates additional verification for certain refundable credits.

Just went through this exact scenario. TC570 dated 02/19/2024, TC971 dated 02/26/2024. I'm on daily processing cycle 20241105. My transcript updated overnight between 03/11/2024-03/12/2024 with TC571 (freeze release) and TC846 (refund issued) with DDD of 03/14/2024. The hold was due to income verification under PATH Act protocols. No correspondence was required in my case - system verification was completed automatically. Total processing time was 26 days from acceptance to deposit.
