CP 75 Notice
What is the CP 75 notice?
The IRS sends this notice to inform you that certain portions of your refund will be delayed. Since they are checking sections of your return that could affect credits claimed on it, the IRS is delaying the part of the refund related to the Earned Income Credit (EIC), Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), and/or Premium Tax Credit (PTC). This notice outlines areas of the return they may examine and explains what steps you need to take to receive your refund related to those credits.
What do I have to do?
Gather the documentation listed in the notice to send the IRS that proves you are eligible for the credits claimed on your return.
You may be able to submit these documents online through IRS.gov. If the notice includes a link and a unique access code, you can open the link in any browser and input the unique access code, your first and last name, and your Social Security number, Individual Taxpayer Identification number, or Employee Identification number to then securely upload scans, photos, or digital copies of your documents (maximum of 15 MB per file and up to 40 files).
If the notice doesn't give you the option to submit these documents online, do NOT mail them original documents in case they lose them. Make a photocopy of all documents to mail to the IRS.
