“What should I do if I got IRS notice CP49?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

IRS notice CP49 often relates to a federal tax refund being applied to another tax balance, so the key issues are usually which tax year or account the notice refers to, whether the balance matches your records, and whether a joint return, prior filing, or state or federal offset may be involved. It is also common to review whether the notice reflects an unpaid return, an amended filing, or a payment that was not posted as expected. The notice language and your account transcripts typically help show what the IRS says happened and why the refund was redirected. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.

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.
