CP 79 Notice

What is the CP 79 notice?
The IRS sends a CP 79 to inform you that they have disallowed certain credits on your tax return, and that to claim the credits on a future tax return, you need to file Form 8862. Form 8862 can be filed using our software when you prepare your tax return next year.

What do I have to do?
If you agree with the IRS disallowing your credits, there is nothing you need to do other than file Form 8862 with your future tax return. If you disagree with the IRS disallowing your credits, call the IRS at the number listed on the notice.
