“I received a CP49 from the IRS, what is it?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP49 is an IRS notice that often relates to a refund being applied to an existing federal tax debt or another balance the IRS has on file. The meaning can depend on whether the notice is tied to a prior return, a collection matter, or another account adjustment, and the exact notice language matters. It is also helpful to look at whether the notice references a spouse, joint return, or a specific tax year, since those details can affect how the notice is interpreted and what records are relevant. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.

In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:

  • Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
  • Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
  • Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
