IRS Refund Delayed: Transcript Shows Codes 150, 806, 570, 971 - Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my tax refund. My account transcript shows codes 150, 806, 570, and 971. It's been delayed for a while now and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what these codes mean or what I should do next?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been dealing with similar issues. From what I understand: β’ Code 150: Tax return filed β’ Code 806: Withholding credit β’ Code 570: Additional account action pending (this is the one that's probably causing your delay) β’ Code 971: Notice issued Basically, the IRS is reviewing your return for some reason. It could be identity verification, a math error, or they need more info. Have you received any letters from them?

Thanks for breaking that down! I haven't received any letters yet. Should I be worried? How long does this usually take?

No need to panic yet. Sometimes it can take a few weeks for a letter to arrive after the 971 code appears. Keep an eye on your mailbox. If you don't get anything in 2-3 weeks, you might want to try calling the IRS (good luck with that tho π

I had the same codes last year. Turned out they just needed to verify my identity. Took about 6 weeks total to resolve. Hang in there!

Pro tip: I found a way to actually get through to a human at the IRS. I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Wait, seriously? $20 just to talk to the IRS? That's ridiculous. Is this even legit?

I know it sounds crazy, but I swear it worked for me. After spending hours trying to get through myself, it was worth it. But yeah, it sucks we have to resort to this π€·ββοΈ

Have you checked the 'Where's My Refund' tool on the IRS website? Sometimes it gives more info than the transcripts.

Yeah, I've been checking it daily. Still just says 'Your return is still being processed.' π

I'm in the same boat, friend. It's so frustrating. I've heard that contacting your local taxpayer advocate service can sometimes help speed things up. Might be worth a shot?

This! π The Taxpayer Advocate Service helped me resolve a similar issue last year. Theyre like the customer service superheroes of the IRS π¦ΈββοΈ

Calm down, Karen. The IRS is understaffed and overworked. These things take time.
