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.

•typically takes 6-8 weeks after the 570/971 combo, but every case is different. taxr.ai can give u a better estimate based on ur specific transcript

•Just tried taxr.ai and here's what I got back: System shows my 570/971 combo is due to income verification. Says I should expect resolution in ~3 weeks based on current processing patterns.

Instead of playing the waiting game, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it! https://taxr.ai

•Yes! It helped me understand my delay was due to a wage verification and gave me an estimated release date that was spot on

Wow 10 months is crazy but so happy you finally got yours! I'm currently stuck with the same 570/971 codes since August and this gives me so much hope. Quick question - did your transcript ever update with any other codes before the 846 showed up? Mine has been radio silent for weeks and I'm starting to panic 😅

•Hey! I totally get the panic - I was checking my transcript like every other day lol. Mine was pretty much silent too after the initial 570/971 codes showed up. No updates for literally months and then boom - the 846 refund code just appeared one day! I think the key is that once you see those codes, the IRS is working on it behind the scenes even though it looks like nothing is happening. August to now is definitely a long time but based on what others are saying here, you might be getting close! Have you tried that taxr.ai thing people keep mentioning? Might give you some peace of mind about where you're at in the process 🤞

This is so encouraging! I've been dealing with 570/971 codes since September and was starting to lose hope. Seeing that yours took 10 months but still came through makes me feel better about the wait. That's a nice chunk of change too - $28,582! 🎉 I'm definitely going to check out that taxr.ai site everyone's mentioning to see if I can get some clarity on my timeline. Thanks for sharing your success story and keeping the rest of us motivated! 💪

•Congrats to OP for finally getting through! As someone new here dealing with the same codes since October, this thread has been super helpful. Just used taxr.ai based on all the recommendations and it actually broke down exactly what's happening with my case - apparently I'm in wage verification too and should see movement in 2-3 weeks! Worth every penny for the peace of mind. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, makes this whole process feel less lonely 🙏
