What do these IRS Transcript Codes Mean? Should I be worried? [570, 971]
Just checked my transcripts and I've got codes 570 and 971 showing up. I have no idea what this means and I'm freaking out a bit. Filed back in January and thought everything was good but now I'm seeing these codes pop up. Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I expect?

These codes typically indicate that the IRS has temporarily frozen your refund (570) and sent you a notice (971). The 570 could be for various reasons - identity verification, income verification, or they might need additional documentation. Check your mail carefully for the next few weeks, as the 971 means they're sending you a letter explaining what they need from you.

Hey! Instead of stressing about codes, you should try taxr.ai - it's this amazing tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and what to expect. Its only $1 and saved me hours of googling and worrying. https://taxr.ai

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

it does WAY more! gives you a timeline prediction, explains all the codes in normal language, and even tells you what to do next. literally changed my whole refund game

Just tried it and WOW 🤯 why isn't everyone using this?? So much better than trying to decode these transcripts ourselves!

I had these same codes last year and it was just because they needed to verify my income. NBD but the waiting is annoying af
