The IRS estimates that most refunds will be sent within three weeks after your e-filed returns are accepted. Many refunds will come sooner. You can check the status of your refund by going to www.irs.gov/refunds. You can also click here to see a chart with estimated refund dates based on the date your return was accepted by the IRS. Some 2019 Federal Refunds will be delayed due to the Path Act. Please click here for more information.

I understand the timing but why would I have a 570 code with date 2/24 and a 971 dated 3/2 Does that mean I’m audited I called offset line there’s nothing and my account transcript shows a credit which was my right refund amount

I checked my irs transcripts and it had a code 971. I just called the irs and they said my tax return is being put on a 60 day review. But no further documentation is required from me. My transcripts also had the process date as 3/2 and a notify date of 3/9, on 3/7 which is when I checked my transcripts. So idk this BS.

So we filed Injured Spouse form and was accepted on 03/26/2020. Just spoke with someone from the IRS and there was information missing from our Injured Spouse form. What is weird from reading these comments is that although a "letter" was said to be sent no one here received anything just like us. I think this is a program issue on Turbo side....

Code 570 means the IRS is reviewing your return. All returns containing certain credits take longer to process.

The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting in late Feb. (that was the target date before the pandemic hit reducing IRS staffing) , if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return. such a delay was required by the PATH Act to prevent the IRS from paying out phony claims for these credits.

971 is an IRS catchall. thus it could mean many things.

if the IRS got your forms, which they evidently did, TT is out of the picture. The IRS should send you a letter regarding the missing info from the iS form. This is a manual process with the IRS short of staff to handle sending out such letters. So you'll probably get the letter unless the IRS messed up,(they sometimes lose documents). with maybe a million or more paper filings, the stimulus, short of staffing it may be quite a while before you get the letter. if it has been over 4 weeks since you called and spoke to the agent, call again and ask when you can expect the letter.

any update on this? I was accepted 02/12, WMR bars disappeared, transcripts became available with code 570 and 971 dated 3/15/12.

It’s tricky if you got a code 971 and then 570 That means there was something missing or some issue with you that means there was a freezeAlthough a lot of people don’t realize in the situation if the dates are the same on the 570 code and 971 That means they fixed it their self Scroll down where your transcript says balance due/overpayment and what do you both want it says that it’ll have your refund amount and then you’ll have another one under that it says the same thing by computer if that number is lower than your refund that is what they change it to but long is your code 971 and code 570 both have the same date you’ll get your refund

following for an update. I filed 2/9, accepted 2/12. bars on WMR disappeared within days.

transcripts are available for 2020 but coodes 971 and 570 dated 3/15/21. hoping I dont have to wait for a letter sent on 3/15. seems unncessary.

no dates on WMR or SBBT. 21 days would be tomorrow, 3/2 for me.

I have the same issues. Same thing. They adjusted my refund to show I received my stimulus but I also think they are holding it to make sure and doing a later processing. I have the 3/15 processing date.

I had an as of date and processing date for 3/15. Today I updated on my transcripts for 571 code (issue resolved) and 846 code (DDD-3/10). I had filed the stimulus by accident. They adjusted my refund and then released it I guess. I don’t know if yours was the same issue as far as stimulus but if so I hope you update next week.

I had both 971 and 570 codes on my transcript a letter was sent out for 3/22 and it was because I made a error on my stimulus payment amount so the irs corrected the error my refund amount changed but I dont have a ddd yet im on a weekly cycle. So maybe next Friday I will have a date.
