Key Takeaways

  • TC 570 freezes your refund for additional review - it's a hold, not an audit, and often resolves automatically.
  • New for 2026-2027: OBBBA's 'No Tax on Overtime'/'No Tax on Tips' deductions and Form 1099-DA digital asset cost-basis mismatches are now leading causes of 570/971 holds.
  • TC 971 right after 570 with the same date usually means an automatic resolution - expect payment in 3 to 6 weeks.
  • TC 570 then 971 with different dates, and no refund change, means the hold may take longer and needs your response to any IRS notice.
  • Watch for 571 (freeze resolved) or 572 (resolved additional account action) as the signal your hold is clearing.
  • This season's OBBBA/1099-DA-driven holds are generally resolving in 2 to 8 weeks rather than the older 45-to-120-day range.

Transaction codes and tax topics are used across IRS refund status applications — WMR or IRS2Go — and account transcripts, to show filers what’s happening with their tax return, why it’s delayed, when a refund will be paid, or why it was lower than expected.

You’ll generally see Transaction Code 570 (TC 570) on your tax transcript once your return has been through initial system processing.

This code means additional review — often requiring manual intervention — is being done, and your return processing (and refund payment) is frozen until it’s resolved.

It generally corresponds with the Tax Topic 152 WMR/IRS2Go message that your return is under processing or review.

It can take several days or weeks for TC 570 issues to resolve, given the range of things this code covers. I’ve listed the most common causes below, including two new ones specific to this filing season.

What Does Code 570 on Your Transcript Mean?

Per IRS guidelines, TC 570 means your return is on hold due to a pending additional liability review. No further processing or refund payment happens until this hold lifts.

TC 570 on your IRS Account Transcript

Code 570 can be triggered by a mismatch with employer-reported wage income, injured spouse claims, ID verification, or reconciling tax credits (EITC, RRC, CTC) claimed versus what the IRS has on record.

New for the 2026-2027 filing season, two additional triggers are showing up frequently:

  • OBBBA “No Tax on Overtime” and “No Tax on Tips” deductions. If you claimed either new deduction, the IRS’s automated systems may pause your return to verify your employer reported the corresponding overtime hours or tip income correctly. A mismatch between what you claimed and what your employer reported is a common cause of a 570 hold this season.
  • Form 1099-DA cost-basis mismatches. 2026 is the first filing season digital asset brokers were required to issue Form 1099-DA. If you sold Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other digital assets in 2025 and your reported cost basis differs from what the broker reported to the IRS — even slightly — your return gets flagged. This “basis gap” is a leading cause of the 570/971 combination this year.

Because IRS systems can’t automatically reconcile these mismatches, they get sent for manual review and verification, which is what generates TC 570.

Codes 971 and TC 570 on your IRS Tax Account Transcript

You’ll normally see code 971 right after 570 — TC 971 is the generic code for an IRS notice or letter that explains the issue or advises of further delays (e.g. an additional 60-day review).

Can I Resolve TC 570 via TC 971 IRS Notice?

Following additional review, the IRS can often resolve TC 570 automatically — no further action needed from you — and your return is released for further processing, including refund payment.

An internal or automatic resolution generally only delays your refund by one to three weeks. You’ll get a notice of the resolution and a chance to appeal the adjustment, but refund processing and payment continue in the interim.

If more information is needed, the IRS sends a letter (also reflected as TC 971) requesting additional documents or details — for OBBBA-related holds, this often means providing pay stubs or employer confirmation of overtime/tip amounts; for 1099-DA mismatches, it may mean documentation of your cost basis for the digital assets sold.

What Do the Amounts Against Code 570 Mean?

It may show a $0 amount against the 570 line if the IRS is still reviewing your return and/or the issue is non-monetary. The amount may change to a liability (positive number) if the IRS adjusts your return.

What Do the Dates Next to 570 and 971 Mean?

Check the dates as well as the amounts, since you may see transaction lines spanning several tax years — make sure you’re looking at the current year’s lines.

What do dates on 570 IRS transcripts mean?
What do dates on 570 IRS transcripts mean?

If you see TC 971 then TC 570 with the same date, it generally means the IRS auto-adjusted your refund and sent a resolution notice — expect payment within 3 to 6 weeks, assuming no other issues, once you see lines 846 and 571 or 572.

If you see TC 570 then TC 971 with different dates and your refund amount hasn’t changed, it means a hold that may take longer, since the IRS is still actively processing. Follow the instructions in your IRS notice and respond promptly to any requests for more information.

When Will I Know My 570 Issue Is Resolved (Codes 571, 572 and 846)?

You’ll know TC 570 is resolved when it progresses to 571 (freeze resolved) or 572 (Resolved Additional Account Action), or your liability balance goes to $0. A final 971 notice confirms the resolution.

If no further issues are found, a refund (TC 846) is then released for payment.

Tax Code 570 to TC 971 to TC 571 to TC 846

How Long Will This Delay My Refund?

The IRS generally cites 45 to 60 days for additional reviews, though this has varied by season depending on processing backlogs. For the 2026-2027 season, OBBBA-related and 1099-DA-related holds are generally resolving faster — often within 2 to 8 weeks — since these are increasingly common, well-understood patterns the IRS has built automated cross-checks for.

You may also see extended delays and code 570/971 if your refund is held for PATH Act reasons if you claimed the EITC or ACTC.

Help! What If My IRS Adjustment Is Wrong?

You can appeal any IRS adjustment, but you’ll still get the adjusted refund ahead of the appeal being resolved. If you win, the IRS pays the additional amount later.

You can also contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) for help or hardship consideration, though TAS prioritizes genuine hardship cases (imminent eviction, medical needs) given demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
QWhy is Code 570 showing up more this year?
ATwo new triggers are behind a lot of this season's 570 holds: OBBBA's overtime/tips deductions (the IRS verifies claimed amounts against employer-reported data) and Form 1099-DA digital asset reporting (cost-basis mismatches between what you reported and what your broker reported to the IRS).
QDoes Code 570 mean I did something wrong?
ANot necessarily. It's the IRS flagging a mismatch or item that needs manual reconciliation - it's common with new deductions and reporting requirements like OBBBA and 1099-DA, and doesn't imply wrongdoing.
QHow long does a 570 hold typically last in 2026-2027?
AMost cases resolve in about 2 to 8 weeks, though complex cases or those requiring documentation (like proving cost basis on a crypto sale) can take longer.
QWhat should I do if I get a 570 hold from a 1099-DA mismatch?
AGather your own cost-basis records for any digital assets sold and be ready to respond to any IRS notice (TC 971) requesting documentation. Keeping trade confirmations and wallet records is the best way to resolve this quickly.
QWill TC 570 show up if I claimed the overtime or tips deduction incorrectly?
AIt can, if the amount you claimed doesn't match what your employer reported. Double-check your final pay stub or W-2 against what you entered on your return before filing to reduce this risk.

  1. I just have code 570 with a date next to it of 3-6-2023 what does the date mean?

    1. Means you return is on hold undergoing further processing. Just need to wait or the IRS to finish and provided updated information. They will mail you a letter if they cannot auto reconcile the issue or need to undertake further identity verification.

    2. Dirk Diggler

      I have the same thing and it’s the 8th. No update on transcript or anything

  2. I know it’s super early.
    filed-2/6
    accepted- 2/6
    wmr-2/11 updated one bar ” still being processed” TTC 152
    transcript not updated.
    Is it to early to freak out never had that message prior years.

    1. No. Its only been a week and with PATH things are held up. You should get an update later this week – but nothing alarming from the dates and codes so far.

  3. Hello Andy ,
    On 9-19-22 I amended my return on 12-02-22 I have code 810 and on 12-30 I checked where’s my amended page and I went to amended adjusted , I have the following codes under the dates
    977 on 9-19
    766 code with date 4-15-22
    290 /766 date 1-9-23
    I received my notice on 1-9-23 stating I will receive a refund with 2-3 weeks , I’m confused

  4. I need clarification please
    I filed amended on 9-19-22 on 12-2-22 I got code 810 next it updated to code 290 date 1-9-23 and code 971 also date 1-9-23 on transcript

    On where’s my amended refund app I have it was adjusted on 12-30-22 .
    I have also received letter on 1-9 -23 stating I am due a refund and I should receive in 2-3 weeks .

  5. Hi Andy I have code 571 resolved additional acct action dated 11-14-22

    It’s been almost a month no notice and no update

    What can I expect next?

    1. That’s the big question. 571 means your return is held up by IRS processing, and could be due to several reasons. At this stage it is taking up to 120 days to resolve issues. You will likely sees a 60-day notice if the IRS expects to take longer to process your return. Sorry, not good news, but just seeing long delays. See this recent video covering this.

      1. This is currently how it looks right now .. does this seem like a good sign or bad ?

        570 Additional account action pending 10-10-2022 $0.00

        971 Notice issued 10-17-2022 $0.00

        571 Resolved additional account action 11-14-2022 $0.00

        1. This is a good sign as resolved action. What did your notice say? You may get another one soon, but your refund (if applicable) should be paid in 4 to 6 weeks.

      2. So I still haven’t received any notice regarding the resolved. I’ve been waiting to receive something and have not so hopefully it will update soon to 846 but it’s been stuck at 571 Additional account action pending with the 11-14-22 date.

    2. Sunni williams

      Mines said 971 12-05-22 but still no update no letter or anything I was wondering did you ever get yours

  6. Melisa Briseno

    Hello Andy

    I have code 810 & 971
    Processing date Oct 24.22
    Refund freeze 9-15-22
    Notice issued Oct 24.22

    1. IRS Code 810 means a freeze has been placed on your refund or a freeze on your earned income credit. The notice you should get or have gotten will explain the reason you may have been deemed ineligible.

      1. So I filed on Feb 4 the 810 it says 0.00 was on 2-16-23 will I get a refund? My refund says it still being processed

  7. Hey Andy I have code 571 dated 8/15/22 but still no refund

  8. Hey Andy quick question so I have 570 code date 09/05/22 and code 971 also dated 09/05/22 check transcript today and have another 971 dated 09/12/22 what does this mean cycle code 05

    1. Hey Joe Joe,

      Did you ever find out what it was? Because on my transcript it has the same dates Code: 570 for 06/05/2022 and 971 for 09/12/2022

      1. Wells my first 971 code was to inform me that I’m eligible for earned income credit but still have not received my second notice

  9. I am still having this issue and mine we filed and accepted in mid January… I have recieved several notices saying they require nothing more from me amd to just keep waiting patiently. Each claiming they need another 30 or 60 days to finish processing… Got the first notice on March 8th asking for 30 days, then another on April 15th asking for 60 days. Then another on June 15th asking for another 60 days. And I’ve still not even been told why it is they need more time. And now I can’t even get through to anyone on the phone… It’s been beyond frustrating… If you have any idea what could be happening I’d be eternally grateful…

    1. MS Brown

      I too am baffled. My electronic filing was accepted on 2/25/22. I was stuck with no info for the longest time. 07/25/22 I had a code 810/811 on the same date. 08/01/22 I have a 570. I can’t get a live person, been calling for months. Isn’t a 570 another freeze, as with 810? Why al the freeze? I was reading up on this 570 code, and I understand it could take another 4 months?

      Thank you

    2. U should have called a tax advocate after first 30 day notice. They push it

      1. Ty. Tax advocates are not accepting new cases and that’s if you can get someone one the line at all, to tell you, to gth. Unkind

  10. There is just code 570 but no code 970 on my transcript. What does that mean? And this is from 7/12/2021. I am still awaiting response for a year now.

    1. It means it is likely still under processing and no IRS letter has been sent. I would definitely call the IRS asap and talk to a live agent. A year wait to get a response is much longer than what others are saying.

    2. Really interesting, I’m sitting at code 570 as well, dated 7/12/2021 as well! I wonder if they had something wrong with a batch that was processing that day? It’s now 3 weeks over 1 year that this has been pending.

  11. Tiffany Will

    Mine updated 07/15 to 971/570 for 08/01/22 & they reduced my refund by $1400 because I forgot that I had got the 3rd stimulus. I should be getting the remainder within the next week or two right?

    1. Yes…that is good progress. Please share when actually hits your back account (or when you get your check)

      1. Kimberly Smith

        Okay will update once it hits but it updated this morning to 571 08/08/22. 846 07/27/22. ( btw I filed 06/25/22) :)

      2. Tiffany

        I’ll let you know when it officially hits. It updated this morning to 571- 08/08/22. 846 07/27/22. (Btw I filed 06/25/22) :)

  12. Megan F. Matteson

    Andy,

    Would really appreciate your insight into this as I’ve had no luck talking to anyone from the IRS.
    I am seeing this on my transcript for my 2020 return. (I filed for an extension, and filed in November ’21):

    570 – Additional Account Action pending – 11-8-2021 – $0.00
    971 – Notice Issued – 11-15-2021 – $0.00

    and… it’s now July 2022 and that’s all I have – no refund, no updates, no way to find out anything more.

    I vaguely recall seeing a letter from the IRS (made me nervous) but it said something like that maybe they were concerned about identity fraud and needed extra time to review my return, but I also recall it said NOTHING WAS REQUIRED of me.

    When I log into my IRS account now, there are no notices to view. So if they did want or need something, I have no idea what it was or is.

    Do you have any suggestions for this case? Is this just a problem of Covid backlog or what? Is there anything I can do to help them, or to just get some answers, and maybe get this moving along again?

    1. Unfortunately 2020 returns are all jammed. The latest IRS report (https://savingtoinvest.com/still-waiting-for-last-years-irs-tax-refund-as-past-year-tax-returns-delayed-due-to-manual-processing/) shows that the IRS is still constrained and processing backlogs. At this stage not much you can other maybe call the numbers on the notices you have. Will just have to wait.

      You can also contact the tax advocate service if you have extenuating circumstances and there is always your local congressional person if you really need help.

  13. Crystal

    Code 570 issued 2-28-22 = $0.00
    Code 971 issued 03-07-22 = $0.00
    Cycle code 22020506, Date 02-28-2022
    What does this mean when will I receive my refund

    1. Sounds like your return is still under review by the IRS. Have you been getting “we need an additional 60 day letters”?

      1. Crystal

        Yes actually I have what does this mean

  14. Angelica

    i show this and it hasn’t changed.

    570 additional account action pending 3/07 $0.00
    971 Notice Issued 3/07 $0.00

    i received a letter telling me it was adjusted but no refund date yet, should i be worried??

    1. George

      Worrying generally helps.

    2. Brian amuro

      Same with me I filed feb6 and got the letter saying I should verify my identity after I created id.me it was updated and I saw 570 and 971 on 05/16 with same date then I later saw 971 with a different date 05/23
      I need help to understand all this

  15. Destinee DeJesus

    I have code 570 with a date of 04-25-2022
    I know have code 971 with date of 05-02-2022
    Can you please help me

    1. The different dates suggest your return is still under review. You will have to see what the 971 notice says and if any action is required.

      1. Destinee DeJesus

        I called the tax advocate line. They told me to make sure that my wages Match. Should I file an amended return or should I wait

        1. Shamellia

          Wat number did u call

    2. Rachel E

      My same position, any updates ?

      1. Destinee DeJesus

        Nope, I receive a letter for a 60 day notice.

    3. Jarmonsmith

      What do 971 mean that on my taxs

      1. That is a transcript code that means the IRS has issued you a notice.

  16. Michelle

    Hi Andy I have codes 971 an 570 both with the same date an both with 0.00 my cycle code 1405 my 766 an 768 code has same date with -my amount next to it with date 4/15/2022 an the other 2 codes date is 4/25/2022 can you please tell me when you think I should receive my refund I’ve been waiting since Feb 13 is when I filed

    1. You will need to see the 846 code (refund issued) to know for sure you get paid. But looks like you should get your refund by end of April (based on 4/25 date).

  17. Latonya

    Hi Andy,
    I filed 1/30 and was accepted 1/31. 2nd week of Feb WMR went from saying processing to saying ” we apologize but it is taking longer than normal to process your return……” Since Feb my transcript showed the cycle code 20220705 and a 159 code dated of 3/7. As of 3/7 Transcript shows 570 code dated 3/7 and 971 code dated 3/14. The notice I received dated 3/14 was the CP05 telling me that I need to do nothing and I was under the 60 day review. I already had an IRS account set up with login info. When I logged in last week it had the message about setting up an IDme login which I’ve done. I’ve verified all my numbers on my return, including the credits, with what I received from the IRS and my employer. What does this all mean? Is there something else I need to do? I have never had an issue with my returns or filing so this is kind of freaking me out ‍♀️. I have a health issue going on and I’m draining my account with copays so I could really use my refund right now. Thank you in advance for any advice!

  18. Jacqueline

    Hi Andy , Can I get some help i filed on 3/05
    My cycle code 20221205

    My refund has not been adjusted as of yet

    But I have codes of 570 w/ $0 4/11
    And a 970 w/ $0 4/18 …

    I also ID verified on 4/05 … should I be concerned?

    1. Looks like no actions on your end. You just need to see what the 971 letter says, but I expect you should get your refund before then if no remaining issues.

  19. Andy, thank you for all of your help with so many questions. I’ve received no correspondence in the mail and have had 570 for the 2020 tax year since July 12, 2021. There is nothing else on my ts.

    I’ve already received my 2021 taxes in less than a week.

    Any help is appreciated.

  21. India love

    Hey Andy I file my tax return feb 4 and I had called the IRS March 7 and was told they needed additional information and resolve the issue on March 2 and to wait 9 weeks for refund. I finally check my transcript I see I have
    Code 570 4-11-2022 $0.00
    Code 971 4-18-2022 $0.00

    What does this mean????

  22. Hi Andy, I read a few comments of you helping others like me. I would so very much appreciate your thoughts on my tax transcript.. I’ve called the irs the whole deal but always get a run around it seems not really firm answers.

    I filed 3/18 however the transcript reads it was filed on 3/28th, no biggie.

    I see codes 766 and 768 dated 4/15 credits to my account and earned income.

    That’s great right.. ! But then, I get code 570 dated for 3/28 $0.00.

    And below code 971 dated for 4/4 $0.00.

    Assuming no other issues what can I expect? (My taxes are flawless and accurate, can I do anything to speed this review up?)

    Thank you for any comments you may leave!

  23. Received the 570 and 971 dated 4/11/22 on 3/25/22.
    Received the 571 dated 4/18 and 846 (refund issued) dated 4/6 on 4/1/22

    1. Kisha mcgee

      Did u received da 571 and 846 on a different day if so how many weeks did u receive da 571 and 846 after u received codes 570 and 971

    2. Crystal webb

      Did you get your refund on the date it said?

  24. I have a 971 notice issued and got something in the mail wanting to make sure I was the one that opened the ID me account said if so so further action needed. WANTS THIS MEAN, am I still getting my refund

  25. Shanice

    Andy can you help please

    I filed & accepted 2/2
    570 3/14 $0
    972 3/14 $0

    Received a letter in mail dated 3/14 saying they adjusted my refund & it increased it. Is this good news?

    1. That is good news. Did the letter say why? Or check your transcript. But people are normally seeing a refund payment 2 to 4 weeks after letter (since you have a week to appeal it)

      1. India love

        Hey Andy I’m a bit confused and need your help my transcript says:
        Code 150
        Cycle 20221205
        766 credit
        768 credit
        570 additional account action pending 4-11-2022
        971 Notice issued 4-18-2022
        But I called the irs first week of March 2022 and was told they resolved the issue March 02

        1. Jacqueline

          Hello India love , I have the exact same issue … did you get any updates ? Also , how can you tell me how you got in contact with irs I’ve been trying but can never get through

        2. Kyle wilkerson

          Please let me know how you got this resolved cause I’m in the exact same situation here

        3. So it looks like you may several issues on your return. They may have resolved one on March 02, but maybe an identity issue came up later. What did the 4-18 notice say? That will be key to close this. During tax season you can get several notices as your refund is processed.

    2. yes. your case is almost same as mine. I will get refund on 4/6. Thanks.

  26. Hello,

    Mine has been processing for weeks. I have two “deposit amounts” codes are 766 and 768. These are dated 4/15 though. I checked this morning and it now shows 570 on 3/28 and the 971 on 4/04 but both balances are $0. I’m assuming I just have to wait until I receive the notice in the mail. What does this mean? I have tried to contact the IRS and have had no luck. Thank you!!

    1. Correect, the 4/4 date is an estimated system date on when the notice will be issued. Generally takes 2 to 4 weeks after that (assuming you don’t appeal adjustment) for refund to be paid.

      The 766 and 768 (refundable credit) dates are meaningless.

      You will eventually want to see the 846 (refund issued) code on your transcript to get confirmation the IRS is paying your refund.

  27. Patrice

    I have 570 and 971 codes with the same date. They both say $0 but my 150 code has an amount on it and my refund amount is reflecting the difference of it. Is this just an adjustment thing that’ll update on its own? My notice date isn’t until 4/11

  28. Hey Andy. I read all comments. Your great at this stuff lol. So I should just wait til Friday to check my transcript again?

    570 : 3-21-2022 $0.00
    971 : 3-28-2022 $0.00

    Also amount I am expecting is at the top of the transcript form.

    1. Check for the IRS notice…should be with you by now (or check in your IRS account). Refund payment 2 to 4 weeks after the letter is sent and no appeal is lodged.

      1. Hello again. So yes I still have not received anything from IRS at all. A few ppl are in same boat. Says I got a notice issued and date said 3/28.. but nothing . Same delay msg and same codes 570 & 971.

        Been waiting since 2/9…

  29. Brittany

    Hi i filed and it was accepted 2/20. Then got another message it was 3/22 that it was accepted again. The transcript has code 766 & 768 with 4/15. 570 with 3/28. Then 971 with 4/4 date. I haven’t received anything in the mail to respond. Is it just delayed?

  30. Dime simms

    I have a 971 and then a 570 both at 0.00 with a date of 4/11/22 on there. what does this mean?

    1. Yue Sun

      exactly the same here

      1. I have exactly the same dated 4/11

    Hi
    I know you have so many questions, but I need help! I have had n/a since I filed Jan. 28th, no bars. Now I have transcript updated too:
    4/15 code 766-credit to account -$5,100
    4/15 768 code earned income credit -$4,370
    4/11 code 570- additional account action pending 0.00

    So no 971 code at all. Help please

    1. Means your return is still under review ….

  32. I filed 2/14/22 and on 3/11/22 had the 570 code with date 3/21/22.
    I rechecked again on 3/16/22 and noticed the 971 code with 3/28/22 as the date and both had $0 balance. It’s now 3/25/22 and I have not received anything or seen any movement.
    What should I suspect is going on? My code also shows weekly updating.

    1. I expect you will get an update this week and refund early next week if no further issues. Check that you didn’t get an IRS notice (mail or in your account). But both codes having the same 3/28 date, is a positive sign

  33. @Andy hey, hate to hit you with more questions see you’ve already helped alot of people understand thier transcript codes but I’ve got 766 and 768 dated 4/14 followed by 570 04/04…..i.d verified the 14th of february and had NA until this past friday cycle cod 20221105

    1. You will need to see 571 (actions resolved), 971 and then a 846 code (refund issued) with a 2022 date for final resolution.

  34. Lakiesha Dukes

    Hey I have a question ? So I received a letter for 60 day review on Feb 2nd and then the 570 code on transcripts 2/11 , My as of date has change twice and has been stuck at 3/7 for the past three weeks today i called for an advocate but can not get one because it’s just being reviewed and to allow 120 days but she did say she see a reversal but didn’t explain what that was or a date of the reversal can you please give me some insight on what’s going on maybe ?

  35. Hi,
    I am so confused. Filled with anticipated refund of $6305. transcript reads as follows:
    766 credit to your account -$9600
    971 notice issued 3/21/2022 $0
    570 addition account action pending 3/21/2022 $0
    571 resolved additional account action 3/28/2022 $0
    846 refund issued 3/16/2022 $1805.00

    What does all this mean. Is that it for my redund? Thank you

    1. the date on code 766 is 4/15/2022

      1. That date is not very relevant. Just end of tax season system default. The date on your 846 line is the one that matters.

    2. Basically it means your refund ($1805) has been issued on 3/16. You should have it now in your bank account or up to a week later by check. However your refund was garnished (going from 9600 to 1805) due to an automatic IRS adjustment. Likely if you claimed the RRC (stimulus check) or advCTC incorrectly. You will need to see the IRS notice on details around your adjustment (you should also be able to access the IRS notice on your account)

  36. Hello, I’ve had these codes for the past 4 weeks
    766 for 4/15
    768 for 4/15
    570 for 3/14
    971 for 3/14
    I’m being told so many reasons at once for my codes being this way, I tried to call the IRS & haven’t had any luck. I have yet to see a letter & I’m already verified. Never had this issue before, I did however have a baby in 2021 which I’ve claimed. When I go to check my refund it gives me the same delayed error. I have yet to update and I’m in cycle code 0805. My transcript has yet to move & I’m wondering what does it mean to have 570 then 971 with the same dates? Thank you.

    1. They also adjusted my refund amount as well..

    2. Hello Anesta, I also have the same codes with the same dates my last update was 2/25 and I filed 2/2. I received a letter on 3/14 saying it was adjusted but haven’t had any luck getting through with the irs either. Im so confused on when I will receive my refund.

  37. So Andy I wanted to ask something I see you know a lot about taxes. You mention 570 is issued then 971 is issued after means they are still verifying your return. My main question is if I see a 766 and 768 with a date of 4-15-22 does that mean by that time they will give me an answer of those credits or deposit into my account?

    1. No Maria. 766 and 768 are credits to you (will be negative amounts). But the IRS can and does adjust this. You will need to see code 846 (refund issued) to see the final amount. See some earlier comments for other examples. The 4-15-22 date is just the system default for end of tax season. You will need to see the date on the TC 846 line (when on your transcript) to see when you will get your final/adjusted refund. The 570 code refers to the adjustment or additional liability review, with 971 the notice issuance reference.

    I have had TC 570 $0.00 for over 3 weeks now with as of date 03/07/2022 with no change.
    Filed 1/27/22
    Accepted 1/28/2022
    only thing that have change dis as of date until recently
    cycle 20220705
    identity been verified back in Aug 2021
    WMR shows no bars with delay message since the first week after I filed.
    Please help!

    1. Have you claimed the advCTC or RRC (Stimulus checks) in your return? If so and your return is flagged for review, seeing delays of 6 to 8 week for updates and refund payments. Can happen sooner, but this is the main reason folks are seeing delays (other than identity validation, which you have already done).

  39. Toni L Bordelon

    I feel like you are the only one on the internet that actually knows anything, anyway my cycle date is 20220705
    I have a 570. $0.00 3/7/22
    And a 971 $0.00 3/14/22
    No other codes though, and my above return has not changed.. I did have a baby in April changeing my return from the dependants previously on file with the irs… is this good news or just more irs limbo?

    1. A little bit of IRS limbo. But it looks like your notice/action (971) was issued, which is progress. Hopefully reflects an IRS adjustment and your refund is released. CTC payments causing lots of review this year, so your refund may be lower than expected, but you can appeal and eventually file an amended return if the IRS guides as such.

  40. Mine has 190 then 570 same date 3/28 my last to batch num 05 I had this since last Saturday how long before I get a ddd

    1. I have the same thing on mine 150,570 and a 971 with a date of 03/28 and all three has $0 .does any one know what’s up

  41. Vivian Rodriguez

    Andy i have codes 570 and 971 same date but with 0$ on both what does that mean

    1. means processing is completed (first round) and you should have a notice. If minor updates and IRS has auto adjusted you should soon see an 846 (refund issued) code and get your DDD.

      1. Hi I filed my 2021 refund 01/27/2022 in the or on my transcript is has 570 then 971 same date 03/07/2022 same amounts $0.00 what does that mean it been almost 2 months I’m scared my cycle code is 20220705 help please I don’t understand someone at the irs said it has something to do with line 30 on my 1040 form

        1. Hey did you ever update im in the same exact situation same dates also I did get a letter alreadyb

  42. James Adkins

    I’ve been dealing with an amended 2020 return for a year now can you help my newest codes are

  43. Delores G

    Filed 2/10 & accepted 2/11
    Went from zero movement. N/A on my transcript to 971/570 codes last Friday. Today I updated to DDD of 3/16.

    If you woke up with those codes (that exact order!!) & the SAME dates next to those codes. You will more than likely have a DDD next Friday. All it means is that they adjusted your refund & they give you a week to try to fight it or accept it. By you not doing anything about it, they take it as you accepting it so it’ll update to 571 code & right under you’ll have the 846 code with your DDD!

  44. Do the irs really take the whole 60 days to process your taxes after you received the letter stating not to call until after day 60?

  45. Viviana Rios

    Hello is the amount on top of the transcript the amount iam getting because my tax lady had said I was getting 8339 and now it says 5403 it’s it because it was wrong 570 and 971 have the date 03/21/22 . Just want to know if iam getting the 5403 instead of 8339

    1. You are likely seeing a lower amount because if was adjusted by the IRS (code 570). You will need to see code 846 (refund issued) to see final amount after all IRS processing is done. IRS record is the one you care about, your tax lady is only giving you an estimate based on what was submitted.

      1. Viviana Rios

        Thanks so the processing date says 03/21/2022 what those that mean???

      2. Shanice Jackson

        Hey Filed 1/13, Received 1/20 accepted 1/24. HAD BARS UNTIL 2/17. DELAYED MESSAGE.
        2/24-25/22 TRANSCRIPTS UPDATED TO 570 ADDITIONAL ACCOUNT ACTION PENDING (0) 3/4 TRANSCRIPTS UPDATED TO 971 CODE (0)
        3/11/22 no update. Help me.

        1. Shanice Jackson

          Also my as of date changed from 3/14/22 to 3/21/22.

        2. 971 means a notice issued? check your mail or IRS account for notice to see what action and/or adjustments were made. Some notices could also be for ID verification. If action is required on your end, you’ll need to respond to get your refund released.

  46. if an error occurred on refund due to the tax credit for no dependants will it delay it nd add it or send seperate

  47. if someone did my taxes and then irs sees an error such as me getting the tax credit with no dependants will that too delay it or automatically if any pay the difference or seperatly

  48. Allyson Boggs

    Hi! I checked my IRS transcript and the account balance is a higher amount than I expected my refund to be. At the bottom it shows a 766 code credit to my account with a date of 4-15-2022. Under that is code 971 notice issued with a date of 3-14-2022 and then code 570 additional account action pending with both of those codes having $0 next to them. What does this mean and when will I get my refund?

    1. 971 then 570 with same dates means adjustment (your refund amount changed) and should update

      570 then 971 with different dates (your refund amount did not change) means a hold and may not update as quickly.

      766 is just the credit amount

      1. Mine have the same dates BUT the 570 comes before the 971. Does that make a difference?

        1. No..date is what matters. You should be getting the notice (if any adjustments) and 846 code soon, based on your cycle processing schedule.

      2. Andy I have two 971 back to back with to different dates it goes 570 3-14-2022
        Then 971 3-14-2022
        Then 971 3-21-2022

        1. This signals 2 different notices (and likely 2 different issues) with your return. Do you see an 846 code? But looks your DDD should be before 3/21.

        2. Hey I have the same goin on with my transcript right now did you ever receive refund like Andy said you will

    2. Ashley Long

      Mines say the same thing so did you get resolved

  49. Kizzie s Gross

    How do I know if I’m getting a refund cause I file in 2021 and they said I would receive a refund but I waited and never received anything and they sent me a letter and everything

  50. Note: If your 570 has a $0 amount next to it, it means it is being held up for a non monetary reason. This means the IRS is verifying your information further.

    1. Thank you for the answer I was so upset because I didn’t know what it meant

    2. I have the 970 Notice issed with $0 and then the 570 Additional account action pending $0. I do know that they are taking off for the $2800 tax credit but should that be the reasons for my delay?
