IRS Notices & Letters
“What do I need to know about an IRS CP49 notice?”
An IRS CP49 notice generally relates to a refund offset, where a federal refund has been applied to another tax debt or certain other obligations. The key details often depend on what balance the IRS says was owed, whether the offset matches records from prior returns or notices, and whether the underlying liability is still open or already resolved. It can also matter whether the notice reflects a joint return, a past-due federal tax issue, or another agency claim. Reviewing the notice carefully for account references and explanation codes is often the starting point. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
