Hello,  My show code 766 with a negative amount and date of 4/15/2022? My initial was also reduced by a few thousand due to an error on my form 8812? Anyone have any knowledge?

Yuki Tanaka

Hey there! Tax pro here and I've seen this quite a bit lately. Code 766 with a negative amount typically means the IRS adjusted your downward, which matches what you mentioned about the Form 8812 error. This is usually related to the Child Tax calculations. The 4/15/2022 date is just the default processing date for 2021 returns. Since your are showing these adjustments, the IRS has already processed your return and made their corrections. Your reduced amount should be the final figure you'll receive. To get a crystal clear picture of exactly what happened and when you'll get your refund, I'd highly recommend checking out taxr.ai - it's a new tool that analyzes your transcript and breaks down all these codes and dates in plain English. It'll tell you exactly why your was reduced and what to expect next.

Hi 766 with negative means a credit. In accounting, negative means a (money you get it) and other codes + means money taken out by irs. 4/15 date doesn鈥檛 mean anything. It鈥檚 just a tax due date. I see you already received your on 3/16/22.

You鈥檙e so welcome.  I can see a full page you posted. Code 150 shows $4,179 which IRS taken out for your past and this year tax due and it could be also other debts you owed. 806 negative shows a you get from your withholding income tax 766 negative is a credit. Either child tax or stimulus payment mostly or other you claimed. If you have a question about reduced refund, you need to call tax offset, 800-304-3107.

So the amount next to 846 is what you receive? Because mine is different from my expected amount

Angela Smith

Yes, that is correct. I鈥檓 still confused. I also see a code 766 with a negative value of $3000 and a date of 4/15/2022. My tax person fixed the error he made initially on form 8812 for the Advanced Child tax credits so I鈥檓 assuming that they鈥檒l me a being I have $3000 left to claim for the child credit. It鈥檚 all confusing.

Hi Angela. 766 is mostly about child tax claimed. Negative balance means a credit. 4/15/22 is a tax season due date so it鈥檚 no special meaning.

Thank you for that. I received a notice from the IRS on March 28, 2022 regarding the inaccurate information that was input on form 8812 in regards to the advanced child tax and what was received from July 2021-Dec 2021. Do you recommend I reach out to the IRS to ensure that the balance due to me which is 3000 will be deposited since my tax personnel fixed the error that was initially made when he processed my taxes? Please advise and thank you again in advance.
