TC 571/971 Codes on Transcript - What do these mean for my refund?

Those codes together usually indicate that the IRS is working on resolving a hold on your account. TC 571 typically means they're reversing an audit or review, and 971 means they sent you a notice. You should receive a letter explaining whats happening within 2-3 weeks. Keep checking your transcript for a 846 code - thats your refund date.

Instead of trying to decode these transcript codes yourself, you should try 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 costs $1 but totally worth it. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

in the same boat friend...its been 9 months for me 🤡

Usually means good news! I got my refund like 2 weeks after these codes showed up

The IRS is such a joke nowadays. They need to get there act together SMH

Just got those same codes last week! lets hope we both get paid soon

TC 571 is actually a good sign! It means the IRS is releasing a previous hold or reversing an adjustment. Combined with TC 971, you should be getting a notice explaining what happened. I had the same codes last year and got my refund about 3 weeks later. The waiting is brutal but you're probably in the home stretch now. Check your transcript weekly for TC 846 - that's when you'll see your actual refund date!
