IRS Notices & Letters
“I got a CP49 notice in the mail, what does that mean?”
A CP49 notice usually means the IRS has applied some or all of a tax refund to an outstanding federal tax balance. The notice typically reflects how the refund was matched against a prior liability, and the details often depend on the tax year involved, the amount of any remaining balance, and whether other federal debts were also part of the offset process. It can be helpful to review the notice carefully for the tax period, the account it was applied to, and any contact information shown, since those items often explain what happened and whether the balance was fully or only partly covered. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
