Tax Return Rejected - Code F8962-070 Error for Federal & Louisiana Returns After January Filing

Filed my taxes on January 17th and my transcripts just updated with some weird codes I've never seen before. Can someone help me understand what I'm looking at? First time seeing anything change since I filed and I'm confused about what this means for my refund timeline. I was using the Live Tax Advice feature on Facebook when I suddenly got some rejection notices. My screen is showing "Keep going to refile your returns" and says "You've visited all the reject errors on your federal return." It specifically shows "Federal return rejection" with a "Revisit" option and mentions "Reject Code F8962-070" which I have no idea what that means. What's even more concerning is that it says "Your Louisiana return was rejected because of the errors on your federal return" and there's a "Continue to refile" button. I'm totally lost on what this F8962-070 code means and how to fix it. Does this mean I need to completely refile both my federal and Louisiana returns? Will this delay my refund? I was counting on getting it soon. Has anyone dealt with this specific rejection code before and can walk me through what I need to do to fix it?

Hey, I'm seeing this pretty frequently with early filers this year. That transcript update is actually good news - it means your return is being processed, but there might be some verification needed. I've been helping folks with these issues and the best way to get clarity is to use taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai). It's this new AI tool that can analyze your transcript and tell you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Saves hours of trying to decode IRS codes and updates.

100% worth it. It'll tell you exactly what's going on and when you'll likely get paid. Better than refreshing WMR all day lol

Without seeing the specific codes on your transcript it's hard to tell exactly what's happening. But if you just filed on 1/17, you're still within the normal 21 day processing window. Most early filers are seeing delays this year due to the new tax law changes.

Oh my bad should have mentioned - I see a 570 and 971 code both dated 2/5

Ah that combo usually means there's a hold while they review something. Could be identity verification or income verification. Keep an eye on your mail.

100% legit! It scans your transcript and uses AI to break everything down. Shows expected dates, explains all the codes, and even tells you if there are problems that might delay things

Here's what you need to know: 570 is a refund hold and 971 means they're sending you a notice. Could be nothing major but definitely keep checking your mail. These codes usually resolve within 2-4 weeks. Pro tip: if you want a detailed analysis of your specific situation, use taxr.ai. The AI breaks down your whole transcript and gives you a really clear timeline. Best $5 I ever spent during tax season ngl.
