NOTICE CP49
IRS Notice CP49 is a letter from the IRS informing you that they used all or part of your tax refund to pay a past-due tax debt that you have. The letter will tell you which year you owed back taxes and the amount that was applied to this debt. Depending on the amount of your refund and back taxes due, you will either receive a check for any remaining refund or notification of a new balance due.
Reasons why it happened:
- You have a past-due tax balance from a prior tax year.
- You have a debt to another federal agency, such as the Department of Education or the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
- You owe certain debts under state law, such as child support or unemployment compensation.
- Review the notice carefully to make sure that the information is correct.
- If you have any questions, contact the IRS.
- If you agree that you owe the tax debt, you can make a payment in full or set up a payment plan.
- If you disagree that you owe the tax debt, you can file a protest.
