Receiving a Code 571 indicates that a previous freeze or hold on your tax refund (Code 570) has been resolved.
The 3/16/2026 is the date the IRS processed the release of the hold in their system. It is not necessarily the day you will receive your money. It is common for the date on a 571 code to be a few days or weeks in the future. So likely any hold on your account will be released by 03/16/2026.
