Refund Finally Arrived: $27,582 Deposited After 10 Month Wait with 570/971 Codes

After what feels like forever my refund finally hit my account this morning! Filed in February and had 570/971 codes on my transcript for months. Never called IRS or sent any additional docs. Just waited it out. Here's my transcript info: RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Oct. 29, 2024 PROCESSING DATE Dec. 24, 2024 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20244905 12-23-2024 $32,700.00 16221-704-02299-4 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-16-2024 -$60,913.00 826 Credit transferred out to 04-17-2024 $830.69 1040 202112 971 Notice issued 12-24-2024 $0.00 846 Refund issued 12-12-2024 $28,582.31 I was so stressed seeing that 971 notice code for months with no explanation. Looks like my withholding was $60,913.00 with a tax liability of $32,700.00, and they had to transfer some credit ($830.69) out to a previous year. Final refund of $28,582.31 just showed up in my account today! I know how stressful this waiting game is - I filed back in February and it's now December! That's 10 months of waiting with no updates other than those 570/971 codes that had me worried. But the system works eventually, even if it takes forever. Keep the faith y'all - it will come! 🙌

Congrats on getting your refund! For anyone else dealing with these codes, the 570 (additional account action pending) and 971 (notice issued) combo usually means the IRS needs to verify something. In your case, patience paid off! For others still waiting, I highly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your transcripts. It'll give you a detailed breakdown of what these codes mean for YOUR specific situation and estimated timeframes. Its helped tons of folks in our community understand exactly whats going on with their refunds.
