Code 971 and 570

[prijoseponce]

60more day hold, that’s horrible. I got the same code and dates .

@prijoseponce if you are facing hardship, and you are relying on that money you can call and get a Tax Advocate at the IRS. They can usually speed things up a little faster than usual. Unfortunately you’ll still have to wait a little bit but that’s the route I would go if you absolutely need the money soon 

[MrCollin]

I have codes in this order.

971 - 4-1-2021

768 EIC credit - 4-15-2022

570 - 2-28-2022

971 - 3-07-2022

Im a single filer with no dependents. Never had this happen before and I have no DDD for 2022 and no adjustment to my AGI or my Refund amount that im getting back.  My Return was accepted on 1-24-2022 its right at a month of waiting. Never taken this long for me. Any tips or help would be very much appreciated or even a reply back thank you. Im struggling to understand why there is code 971 on there twice with 2 different dates.

Transaction Code (TC) 971 is just a miscellaneous code; transcripts are littered with them, and they’re generally not particularly relevant.

Unless there’s a specific text next to a TC 971, you’re not going to know what it means.

See the IRS's Master File Codes for relevant information.

@MrCollin

[MrCollin]

The only specific Text next to TC 971 is ( Notice Issued). @JohnW152 thank you for the reply.

How did you find that out?

[MrCollin]

Find what out?

[Derich94]

Did you also claim the stimulus by accident and the irs shows the corrected amount but still no ddd yet? My turbo tax and irs website shows two different amounts. And i figured out why because i claimed the stimulus by accident. Any updates?

[MrCollin]

Thanks for a reply and yes I did claim that I got the Stimulus and I even got the IRS letter in the mail to file with my taxes saying I got the 1,400 stimulus payment. But nothing has been adjusted/changed to the amount of my refund im getting back. 

[Derich94]

you havent got a refund date yet because of it? Or did they fix it for you?

[MarilynG1]

If you received the Stimulus payment you were supposed to get, you would not be eligible for a Recovery Rebate Credit, so your refund wouldn't change in TurboTax. 

If the IRS shows your Refund unchanged since you filed, don't overthink it.  They are just very behind in their processing. 

@MrCollin

[MrCollin]

Nope nothing has changed on my refund but it does have codes 570 and 971 on my Transcript along with no Due Date/DDD and no orange bars on WMR.

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
