IRS Letter 86C - What does this mean and what should I expect?

Just got off the phone with the IRS and they mentioned I should be expecting a Letter 86C in the mail soon. Anyone have experience with this? Really worried about what this means for my return.

Tax pro here - Letter 86C is actually good news! It means the IRS finished reviewing your return and no changes were needed. You should receive your refund (if you're owed one) within 2-3 weeks after getting the letter.
