Tax specialist here. A 971 code usually means the is sending you a notice, but it doesn't automatically mean ID verification. Could be various things - from simple info requests to payment notices. Since you're seeing this on your transcript, I'd recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your full transcript. It'll tell you exactly what that 971 means in your specific case and what steps you need to take. Their AI reads all your codes and gives you a clear timeline for your refund.
Ok fam, i paid for taxr.ai and this is what I got back on my 971: basically says my 971 is for an adjustment notice and i should get my refund in 2-3 weeks! worth every penny fr fr 🙌
Yep. that’s ID verify. I had the same code last year and didn’t get my money until May. The code will be lifted once you’re verified. You can’t do the without the letter.
To all those having trouble reaching a human at IRS. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
