Why did I get code 570 and 971? I did not claim EIC.

IRS Code 570 on a tax transcript indicates a temporary hold on processing and refund issuance. It is commonly triggered by discrepancies in credits (like EITC/CTC), identity verification issues, or income mismatches. Usually, the IRS resolves this automatically, but it may delay refunds for weeks.

 

Have you used the IRS tool Where's My Refund to see if there is additional information available from the IRS?
