If you are referring to a Code 971 on your IRS transcript or a notice you have received, this means that a notice was issued regarding your tax return. It may mean your return was selected for a manual review or your refund amount was adjusted by the IRS. It may even mean the IRS is requesting additional information. You may also see a Code 570, which means the refund is being held.

What to do:

You should wait until you have the IRS notice, which will explain to you what the issue is and instruct you on what to do.
The letter will give you instructions on what to do to. Follow these instructions very carefully.
If you are not sure how to respond, the IRS can answer most questions by phone: 1-800-829-1040.
Some notices will ask for more information. If the IRS provides a deadline for this, make sure you meet that deadline.
