Need help understanding my IRS account transcript - codes 570 and 971
I just checked my account transcript online and I see some new codes that popped up recently. I'm really worried about what they mean. Can someone help me understand if this is good or bad news for my refund? First time seeing these and honestly freaking out a bit...

Those codes typically mean there's a hold on your account (570) and that the IRS sent you a notice (971). Without seeing your actual transcript its hard to give specific advice, but usually this means they need to verify something. Check your mail carefully the next few weeks.

•It varies alot tbh. Could be a few weeks to a few months depending on what they're verifying

Hey! Instead of stressing out trying to decode these numbers, I'd highly recommend checking out taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. It's only $1 and saved me hours of anxiety googling random codes lol https://taxr.ai

Wait for the notice in mail. Could be identity verification, income verification, or just a random review. Don't panic yet!
