    Code 971 is a miscellaneous catchall code.

     

    Per the IRS:

    It’s taking us more than 20 weeks (instead of up to 16 weeks) to process amended returns. Do not file a second tax return or call the IRS.

    since it specifically said “ forwarded for processing “ I thought It may be different
