What do these cryptic IRS transcript codes mean? Been waiting forever 😭

I'm looking at my transcripts and i'm so confused. There's all these random numbers and dates, and I have no idea what any of it means. Been waiting since February and the only thing I see is a stupid 570 code followed by a 971. Can someone please explain what I'm looking at and how much longer I need to wait?

Those codes typically mean there's a hold on your account (570) and they sent you a notice (971). Check your mail carefully - they probably need additional information from you.

Give it about 7-10 days for the notice to arrive. If you don't get anything by then, call the IRS.

Hey, I've been using this tool called taxr.ai that literally explains everything in your transcript. It's like $5 but totally worth it cause it tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. Saved me hours of googling random codes lol https://taxr.ai

Those codes usually mean theres an issue they need to verify. Could be income verification, could be identity. Without more context its hard to say exactly whats wrong

I was confused too until someone here recommended taxr.ai - best $5 I ever spent! It explained everything and even predicted when Id get my refund (it was right btw). Way better than trying to decode this stuff ourselves
