571 | Issue resolved
This code indicates that a previously pending account issue has been resolved by the IRS.
What This Code Means
Code 571 reflects that an earlier account-level hold or pending action has been completed. It often follows code 570 or similar review indicators and signals that the internal issue has been addressed. The code itself does not specify what the issue was; it indicates resolution of that issue within IRS systems. The presence of code 571 may allow refund processing or account updates to proceed. It does not automatically confirm that a refund has been issued, but it indicates movement toward normal processing.
Where Users Usually See This Code
- On IRS account transcripts following code 570
- After a period of pending review
- During review of transaction code history for a tax year

Notes And Edge Cases
Code 571 often appears close in timing to the pending code it resolves. In some cases, resolution may not immediately result in refund issuance if other holds remain. Multiple resolution entries can appear if multiple pending actions were recorded. The transcript should be reviewed in full to understand context.
