Transcript Updated With 291/971 Codes - Amended Return Processed with $138 Tax Reduction for December 23
Just checked my transcript and saw it updated with codes 291 and 971. My transcript shows: 971 Amended tax return or claim 08-21-2024 $0.00 forwarded for processing 977 Amended return filed 08-21-2024 $0.00 43277-635-06709-4 291 Reduced or removed prior tax 12-24-2024 -$238.00 assessed 28254-732-06003-4 971 Notice issued 12-24-2024 $0.00 I had filed an amended return back in August which looks like it was processed. Now I see they reduced my tax by $238.00 with code 291 and there's a notice being issued (code 971) on the same date in December. Not sure if this means I'm getting closer to my refund or if I'm about to get bad news. Does this mean they accepted my amendment and I'm getting $238 back? Or is the notice going to tell me something negative? Anyone know what these codes usually mean for processing? Is the December date when I should expect to see the adjustment reflected in my account?

Tax pro here. Code 291 typically means an adjustment to your return and 971 indicates a notice is being sent to explain the changes. Could be good or bad depending on the amounts. What cycle date are you and do you see any 846 code yet?

Hey everyone! Instead of playing detective with these codes, I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. For $1 it analyzes your entire transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

In my experience 291/971 combo usually means they found a math error. Check your notice when it comes but dont panic yet
