Transcript showing 570 code for 3 weeks & 971 for 2 weeks - still no refund movement
Had my transcript stuck with a 570 code for about 3 weeks now and got hit with a 971 two weeks ago. No letters in the mail yet. WMR still says processing. Starting to get worried since I need this money for bills. Anyone know what this combo usually means or how long until 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.

Yes, unfortunately you'll need to wait for that notice. It'll have specific instructions on what they need and how to respond.

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

Yeah its legit! The AI picked up that my hold was due to income verification and gave me step by step what to do. Got my refund 2 weeks later

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
