Transcript showing 570 code for 3 weeks & 971 for 2 weeks - still no refund movement

The 570 is a hold on your account and 971 indicates a notice is being sent to you. This combination often means the IRS found a discrepancy in your return that needs addressing. Could be anything from a math error to missing documentation. Keep an eye on your mail - you should receive the notice within 30 days explaining what they need from you.

Hey I was in the same situation and found this tool called taxr.ai - it analyzed my transcript and told me exactly what was causing the hold and predicted when I'd get my refund. Only costs a dollar and saved me hours of research. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

im in the exact same boat rn 😭 been stuck since february

Took me 6 months to get mine resolved with these codes last year. The IRS is such a joke fr fr 🤡

Check your wage transcripts too - sometimes employers mess up their reporting and that triggers these codes

Pro tip: calling early morning right when they open has worked best for me to actually get through to someone

I went through this exact same situation last year. The 570/971 combo is frustrating but pretty common. In my case, it was because the IRS needed to verify my identity since I had moved and changed jobs. The letter took about 3 weeks to arrive and once I responded with the requested documents, my refund was released within 10 days. Hang in there - I know it's stressful when you're counting on that money for bills. Keep checking your mail daily and your transcript for any updates.
