971 code on transcript

@JB
I am waiting on my check from Colorado. Mailed 3/5. My wages on SSA only has my selfemployment…IRS says they now have my missing w2 info from employer.

@Erica i filed 2/4 colorado mailed my check today so maybe thats a good sign that the fed is close. but also i added it up in no combination of employers i cannot get it to add up to what they have is ssa just for wages?

no its like $1232 under so i guess an employer didnt upload it yet or something

Under EARNINGS …it’ll show u your earnings for all years all the way back decades
Mysocial security is the area in the site

@erica actually i tried again and i got access, where do i look to see the wages?

@Erica i cant get access to ssa when i try to make an account it says unavail for that ssn, i called tech support they said its cuz i have id theft block, i need to go into the ss office that is an hr away to manually verify i just never have time during their very convenient hours..

Under review until 3/16 because the clowns at the irs cant verify w2s. Cant get an advocate cuz they hang up on you during intake… SO frustrated. they should start paying me interest

@WiZzZ Just a review code. Your just waiting on code 571 a release code

&& what if on your transcripts, the final code is 570- not 971. 971 is actually before the code 570.

I have a 971 code and stated I will receive letter 3-09. Called IRS and they stated it was several things that may need to be corrected but he didn’t know. Does anyone know how long it will take them to correct that

I think, when 971 and u ordered a transcript or u set up an online it’s account it could be a letter for that. It’s a guess

971 means Notice Issued- your getting mailed a letter.

@Lovebunny
It’s says 971 3/16- noticed issued. I called IRS and they said nothing has been sent. They have literally no answers!!!

I also have 570 and 971. Future date of 3/9. Cycle code 20200795 with 0.00. No updates on WMR except that my refund is processing

@annoyed

I think that’s the code for something being mailed. I’m not sure.

I noticed a 971 code on my transcript this morning. Anyone have any idea what it means!?

Ugh, we got two 570 codes and now after last nights update, we have TWO 971 codes.🙄🙄 another October tax refund for us!

I was told today by the IRS that my income with Social Security does not match my return. They are missing an employer. Second year in a row. Not my fault again, but I have to wait. The 03-09 date by the 971 is the date they expect me to have the letter and then they get 45 days.

I filed on 1/27
Accepted on 1/27

Updated to a 570 and then a 971 code.

Today I called the IRS to see what I could find out and I was told that they can’t verify income so they and asking for me time for further review.

570- Additional Account Action Pending
971- Notice Issued

Does anyone have an update or a DDD? Mine says codes 570 & 971 and processing date of 3/2/2020. No bars when I check WMR but says still processing. Sincerely hoping this “freeze” is just due to the EIC being held.

Sooo, I checked my transcript yesterday and I have code 570 and 971 listed. Has anyone had a resolution since this happened to them? I’m freaking out.

@reneecj

So I have the same exact cycle number as you and I have a 971 and 570

Did you get your return yet?!

I have both 971 and 570 I am assuming the 570 is due to me collecting unemployment and not have taxes taken from themselves hoping they adjust it soon.

I got a 570 account pending and a 971 notice issued. I called one fuy told me its for my kids im claiming and another told me its for someone to do check on everything manually

So I just checked my transcripts and I have an 846 DDD of 02/26/2020 the website still says my refund is being processed so everyone go check your transcripts on line if you can you might be surprised to find that 846 good luck everyone. I did have an 971 before the 846 im thinking it’s because I crated an omline account to view my transcripts online I got the letter thusday. Stay positive ❤

I have the code 971 and received my letter today. It just said that my eitc was approved after a previous denial 😁

@ Stressed out2019 I have the 971 code on my transcript but I think has to do with the 8862 form I had to file with my return this year. The 424 is a examination of your return. Hopefully all is well that its just a small mistake. You will receive a notice letting you know if they need any information from you.

Did anyone receive the 971 with the 424 code?

@Misha That is what you will receive, just something letting you know a account was created.

I also received a 971 notice issued on my transcript as of yesterday and it is blank. But I registered for the online acct yesterday too so that may be it.

@Endia Rhodea That is what I was hoping for. I know it says my notice will be mailed 2/24 so that is probably what I will get also. It didn’t say anything about an extra wait time or anything did it?

@Renee It was my cp74 notice

@Renee! I received my letter and it says i recertified to claim those credits

Is any lone elses transcripts blank

All these child tax credits is messing with people lively hood my kids aare my kids why do i have to prove that thats why this is my last year filing early

Yes bob i did open a online account im just praying that the 24th we get our money

I HAVE NOTHING ON MY TRANSCRIPTS BOY CODE 971 AND A DATE 2/24 IDK WHAT. THIS MEAN CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

I HAVE CODE 971 ON MY TRANSCRIPTS WITH A DATE 2/24 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

Evie

Today I updated to your refund is being processed no bars my refund amount is back I hope thats a good sign I know there are 2 messages the is still being processed and it is being processed mine says it is being processed so lets see what happens next update does anyone know what my status means?

@Nikki my 971 code was due to me creating an account online. I received my letter 2/11/20. I am not a Pather

Yesterday my transcripts updated with codes 806, 766 and 971 (no 570). Today I updated to the PATH. I’m hoping the “971 notice issued” is nothing big but I’m anxiously waiting.

@Endia I filed 2/3 and got accepted 2/4. My cycle date is 20200705 and a processing date of 3/2. Which just updated yesterday. My transcripts are complete without the 846. I am thinking this coming Friday they should show a ddd. WMR updated this morning to the Path message for me also. So I have my fingers crossed for a ddd by next Friday.

@Jackie

Did you have any eic credits I also have just code 971 the rest of the code’s are normal refund and eic codes. The 971 has a future date of 02/24/20 it says notice sent I also created an account to view my transcripts online I hope they just sent a letter pertaining to that I filled with both credits I got path message on 02/08/20 I’m just a bit worried hoping everything is okay ill post if I get any updates. I can’t wait for this tax year to be over!!!!

@Renee Mine updated too today! I can’t view them, but my address updated! When did you get accepted?? And is your transcript complete?

@Alexis I had a 971 code. Got a letter in the mail regarding me creating an account for transcripts. I’m assuming that’s what the 971 was for because I updated today and have a DDD of 2/20/20

@ Endia Rhodea I haven’t heard anything different but I looked at my transcripts today and it has the e.i.c on it with the refund amount. So I believe it’s just a notice coming saying we are recertified to file the e.i.c.

I finally got my transcripts last Friday and it showed 570 with a date of 2/24 and I’m a weekly so today it updated to 971 with a date of 3/02 but all of my transcripts are done and the credit amount is my refund amount so I’m hoping that the 971 is because I created a account online to see my transcripts can anyone help us with these codes

@Renee mine is 20200605 and my processing date was 2/17/20 then changed to 2/24/20.

@Jackie6 My transcripts updated today but no deposit date yet what is your cycle code? Mine is 20200705. And I have a processing date as of 3/2/2020.

Did anyone get an update? Transcripts show code 571 resolved with deposit date of 2/20/20. Good news!

Got a letter from the IRS it was in regards to my account being created I’m assuming that’s the code 971

Hey Everyone,

Did anyone get an update? I checked my transcript account today for the first time and I see code 971 as well. I do owe the IRS but I have an installment agreement in place “although Im sure they will take their portion that is owed” The code 971 shows a date of 2/17 notice issued. No notice has came yet. Has anyone recieved a letter regarding code 971?

@anniee75 when were you accepted? I was accepted 1/21/20. I just checked and still have codes 570 and 971.

So do I have a 570 code because I’m a Pather? The processing date is 2/24 and that’s the processing date of my return as well. I’m thinking the 570 is the hold until they release path funds or at least I hope so…

@kimmied Same here codes 570 and 971. I created an account 2/4/20 so I am thinking the 971 is the letter in regards to that. I did go back and look at my taxes and the $385 is the difference with my mortgage info. Hopefully we hear something Friday.

@Renee did you hear anything else? I had to file form 8862 and I have the same code?

I have 570 and 971 on my transcript. I didn’t get EIC but I did get CTC. I see a difference in what I thought I was getting back of almost $200 more. I was paying the First Time Homebuyers credit back and I guess I didn’t owe anymore money. Could this be the cause for the hold up? If so, how long will it take to release my money? I did get a letter in the mail yesterday but it was about me registering online to see my transcript. Could that be the notice? I also don’t have the credit to your account code that I’ve seen on most TC.

@Ron, I wouldn’t worry too much about the .02. I have almost 9k coming, trust me, I understand the concern. But the IRS will fix any blunder on their part, granted it may take them a yr to find/correct it. If you must ammend, it is recommended wait, do it after refund sent. A bit of my non solicited advice, don’t make grand (no pun ), plans regarding a refund arrival /date. Even if the monies there prior ie taking out a loan/using money saved. Just isn’t smart to potentially put yourself in an unnecessary bind. Worked in finance for 6 yrs! Just sharing a bit of my experience.

All the best, and enjoy! “OT” You’ve earned every dime my friend. :)

@ Dee Dun when were you accepted? I was accepted 1/21 and have codes 570 and 971. My refund amount from TaxAct and what IRS is showing is off my $385. Not sure if I’m getting a CP12 letter or not just read that’s what letter they send out. I also have processing date of 2/24/20 not sure what that means.

@Jackie6 the 971 is probably the letter telling you that they made a change to your tax return. As soon as you get it, take action. If you have to mail a response to them, do it certified and same day if possible. Won’t necessarily speed up the process but it will make your turn around time sooner than later.

@ron in my experience, there is no way to determine what the letter is regarding. Just have to wait and see. It very well could be the .02, it would ridiculous if it is.

Anyone get a CP12 letter? And does anyone know how long it takes to finish processing your refund once letter received? I have codes 570 and 971.

I Checked on Friday, and the 971 and 570 showed up on my return.
What can I look for to see what this is?
I’m supposed to get a REALLY good return this year.
I got 5700 last year, and 7500 this year.
I didn’t do anything different except work more OT, and it seems to have helped my return.
I’m really concerned about this.
Two years ago we had an offset for my wife’s student loan debt. Thought it was paid off, then last year, they offset us for $65 for her student loan. She checked, and it looks like that paid it all off except $.02 (go figure)
Could it be that they are just calculating the offset of $.02?
I field on 1/27 and I’m kind of freaking out over this- was going to go on a vacation I already booked and need to pay some debts

Code 570 does not mean offset, code 898 does. 570 is just a hold on your refund for further processing. 971 does not mean there is a miscellaneous transaction, it means Notice issued..which is a letter they are sending you.

@Renee Holland

I had the 971 code due to my medical and dental itemized deduction apparently my numbers were off. But they corrected it and released my refund. Initially my expected refund amount was $220 lower. But they actually ended up giving me the $220 back. So I guess it was just much to do about nothing.

Could I have to id verify if it’s just the 971 code on transcripts? I know I had to file the 8862 form when I filed my return this year. And I have seen around on the internet that I could just be receiving a letter pertaining to that saying that I am recertified to claim the e.i.c.

@ Dee Dub Did you ever find out why you had those codes? I don’t have the 570 just the 971 code.

I just checked my transcripts and the 971 and 570 code have been cleared. 846 code refund will be issued on 2/12/20 so everything looks like it worked itself out. I’ll wait to see when my deposit hits to know for sure.

@LolaR

I never received and interest and I don’t owe any other agency that I know of. I’m still waiting for the letter that is dated 2/17/20. Idk why it takes so long for the letter to be sent but we’ll see.

Code 570 means there is a credit hold/additional liability pending. Basically an offset.

Code 971 means theres a misc transaction on your return. No idea what exactly that means. Codes are listed on the irs website if you do some digging.

Anyone know what tax code 971 is on transcripts? No other codes but this one.

@Dee Dub. Did you get interest last year on your tax return? If it’s $200 or more, you have to claim that interest on this years return. So basically, they gave interest for waiting so long but you got to pay it back to them.

I was able to see my transcripts today. They are blank with just tax code 971. Nothing else, no cycle date or anything. Does anyone know what this means?

So I have a 971 and 570 code. I spoke to IRS today. They said I would be receiving a CP12 letter. Which is issued to inform the tax payer the irs has made changes to their return.

Thanks Bill. I appreciate the help.

My transcripts also say: Account balance plus accruals (this is not a pay off) there is a minus sign with an amount: ex: -$2,133 and the original refund amount was $2,333 so I’m wondering if my refund was adjusted?

I’m confused with all this.

It could be something small, usually if its a bigger flag they cant fix you would get a take action notice, just stay positive

WMR says: Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.

Could be, what does your wheres my refund say?

So someone fraudulently filed for unemployment benefits in my name and I’ve been in a battle with my local unemployment office for a while. I’ve had 2 for the past 10 years I left one to go to another and someone was collecting unemployment under my name, now they are trying to make me pay it back.

Is the 570 code most likely the unemployment pay back? They claim I owe them $1100.

Sorry update to path on WMR ?

Dee Dub, did you update the path

570 additional account action pending message as well

Is that the only code?
