After you file

The 570 is a hold which means the refund will not be processed until the IRS checks other information.  It can be related to almost anything but for 2021 the most common issues are dependents, Unemployment income or Recovery Rebate Credit.  In general, you should expect a delay and unfortunately there is very little you can do to facilitate the process.

The 971 is always used in combination with another code on your transcript- do you have any other codes?
