CP71C Notice

What Does Receiving a CP71C Notice From the IRS Mean?

A CP71C notice is a communication from the IRS letting you know about a change made to your tax account. This often means that the IRS has applied a credit to your account, offset your refund, or has made an adjustment based on an amended tax return. It’s not usually a notice about owing more taxes, but rather informing you of an action they’ve taken regarding your account.
