What does 570/971 code mean on transcript? Just updated today help!

The 570 code means the IRS has temporarily frozen your account/refund for review. The 971 indicates they're sending you a notice explaining why. Usually means they need to verify something or found a discrepancy. Check your mail in the next 2 weeks for their letter.

Hey there! Instead of stressing about codes, I've been using taxr.ai to understand my transcript. Its only $1 and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. Way better than playing detective with these codes tbh https://taxr.ai

Could be identity verification. Did you get any letters about ID.me?

Call the tax advocate service! They helped me resolve my 570/971 situation in like 3 weeks

Same thing happened to me last month! The 570 basically puts your refund on pause while they review something. Don't panic - it's usually just routine verification. I got my notice about 10 days later and it was just asking me to confirm some W-2 info. Once I responded, they released my refund within 2 weeks. Hang in there!

These codes are super common this time of year! 570 means they've temporarily held your refund for additional review, and 971 means they're sending you a notice explaining why. It's usually something simple like verifying income or checking for duplicate filings. The good news is that most of these resolve pretty quickly once you get the letter and respond if needed. Try not to stress too much - you should hear from them within 2-3 weeks with next steps!
