Code 776 on Transcript: $3,522 Interest Credited After Refund - What Does This Mean?

Just checked my transcript and saw code 776. Really confused about what this means. Does anybody know if this means I'm getting money back or if I have to pay? I'm looking at my transcript and it shows: 846 Refund issued 12-21-2024 776 Interest credited to your account 12-31-2024 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data The amount shows $3,522 but I can't tell if that's coming to me or if I owe it. I see there was a refund issued right before the 776 code, but I'm not sure if this interest is something I have to pay back or if it's additional money coming to me. Does the 776 code mean the IRS is paying me interest on my refund? Or is this some kind of penalty I need to worry about? Has anyone else dealt with this code before?

Code 776 is actually an interest payment that the IRS owes YOU. It means they held your refund too long and now they have to pay you interest on top of your regular refund. So that amount is additional money coming your way! 💰

Usually within 7-21 days after you see that code. But lately the IRS has been all over the place with timing tbh

Hey everyone - I've been using this tool called taxr.ai and it's been super helpful for understanding these transcript codes. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it. Just upload your transcript and it tells you exactly what everything means and when to expect payment. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai
