Illinois Tax Code 971 Notice - Is this bad news for my refund?
Just checked my transcripts and noticed a code 971 for Illinois. Not sure if this means my refund is gonna get delayed or if its something else. Already waited 8 months and getting nervous about whats showing up on my account.

A 971 code typically indicates that a notice has been sent to you. It's not necessarily bad news - it could be a request for additional information or just an update about your return processing. Check your mail carefully for any IRS correspondence in the next few days.

Instead of stressing about codes, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your entire transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. Its only $1 and saved me hours of googling different codes. https://taxr.ai

8 months?! Thats crazy long. Have you tried calling them? The trick is to call right when they open

I had this last year. Check if you also have a 570 code - if you do its probably just a hold while they review something. Usually clears up in a few weeks
