1541 on WMR and 570,971 on Transcripts

Ok guys,

If you got a 1541 or a 570 or both, GET A TAX ADVOCATE. also, DO NOT use the Tax Advocate national line. It’s crap. Call your LOCAL Tax Advocate. You can find the number to your local office HERE: https://taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/contact-us

They got back to me within 2 days and we already figured out what the issue is. I needed to have my wages verified and they are clearing it up now. In my case, my current employers W2 information hasn’t been entered into the Federal system yet (they had to mail it in, they are kinda in the stone age on that kinda stuff) so it was showing I overreported income and that’s why I had the 1541 and 570 codes. I faxed over what the advocate needed right away and they said my refund should be released in a week or two (everyone is behind due to the shutdown or it would have been sooner).

AGAIN, I IMPLORE you. Get an Advocate! If you don’t, you’ll never find out what your issue is, and the IRS WILL take their sweet time in letting you know what it is and how to fix it.

I have been on 1541 since 2/16 transcript had 570 but didnt update with 971!!

I am waiting on letter too

Ugh, I’m on the same boat. I’ve been on 1541& 570 since 2/16. I was hoping I would get a WMR update on the 23rd but I checked my transcripts this morning & now I have code 971 with date 3/11/2019 next to it. Not sure if I should call now or wait for the letter :/
