Code 971 and 570

[Monica]

My transcripts updated last Friday with codes 971 and 570. Are there any chances of that resolving early? Or am I just going to be waiting a long time for our refund 😔

@Jaybird, the 3/8 date after the TC 570 is NOT when you’ll get your refund. You won’t get your refund until you see 571 and 846 on your transcript, and the DDD will be after TC 846. That date of 3/8 is 18 days after their most recent attempt to process your return, 2/18.

If you have TC 971, keep your eye on your mailbox, because you should be receiving correspondence from the IRS explaining what they need from you.

I got 2 letters from irs yesterday one stating that I accessed my account online and one saying I received my second stimulus via dd. No real information
Accepted 2/13
Transcripts updated the 17th or 18th with 570 and 971 but no 846.
Dunno what’s going on I already recieved my stimulus in January and only claim the credit for my child that was born in 2020. Hopefully I get a dd around 3/8 cuz that’s the date next to the 570 code.

So what was in the mail? I have a 971 570 codes as of yesterday.

Well I have informed delivery from the post office and there is something coming from the IRS today. Guess I will find out soon, It’s amazing how scary it is seeing something from the IRS in your mail lol

I have 971 on my transcript but dated same day as 1st stimulus payment in April. Just says notice sent.

I don’t think it’s ID verification. I had to verify my identity last year, and there was nothing on my transcript reflecting that. No 570, no 971. I hadn’t filed in a few years, and the IRS flagged my 2019 return and refused to even open it until they verified my filing was genuine.

I also have those codes, I filed on 2/5 and was accepted on 2/13. Wmr stuck on one bar and I have the tax topic 152 😒

The IRS has your taxes on hold, (570) this could be a random review or just a hold. It also says information has been mailed to you. (971) In a normal year this would take 60-90 days but it’s different for every account but the IRS likes to hold things for the max amount of time. :(

Anything is possible…however, a letter has been sent or is being sent (usually after 21 days of acceptance) and it will give you instructions as to why your refund and account wasf frozen. Could be ID Verify, could be 45 day review, etc. Could be something they are waiting on and it fixes itself.
