Help decode these transcript codes - 570 971 processing delays?

Filed my taxes back in February and still nothing... My transcripts show 570 and 971 codes dated for next week. Anyone know what this means for my refund? Really need this money and tired of checking WMR every day just to see the same message.

Tax pro here. Those codes typically indicate there's a hold on your account. 570 is a refund freeze and 971 means they're sending you a notice explaining why. Could be identity verification, income verification, or they found a math error. You'll need to wait for that notice to know exactly what they need from you.

Depends on what they need. Could be 2-8 weeks after you respond to their notice. Make sure to reply ASAP when you get it!

Have you tried taxr.ai? It's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect your refund. Saved me weeks of confusion! It costs $4.99 but totally worth it https://taxr.ai

Super accurate! It uses AI to read all the codes and dates, then explains everything in plain English. Even tells you what to do next.

The 971 notice might not be bad news! Sometimes its just asking for verification. I got mine resolved in like 2 weeks after sending docs.
