“I’m looking at a CP49 IRS notice, what do I do?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP49 notice usually points to an IRS offset or a balance issue tied to a refund or other federal payment, so the details in the notice matter. The most relevant factors are the tax year involved, whether the notice reflects a remaining balance after an offset, and whether any prior payments, credits, or filings were already applied. It is also helpful to compare the notice with your return transcripts and account records, since mismatches can happen when the IRS has adjusted a payment or applied it to another liability. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
