Received IRS Letter About Account Credit - What Does This Mean?
Just got a letter from the IRS saying I have a credit on my account. Never seen this before and im confused. Has anyone gotten something like this? Do I need to do anything with it or just wait for them to send the money?

Those letters (Notice CP841) typically mean you have an overpayment or unused credit on your account. Could be from excess estimated tax payments, unused credits, or an adjustment they made. You don't usually need to do anything - they'll either apply it to any outstanding tax debt or send you a refund automatically within 2-3 weeks.

You should check out taxr.ai - its this new tool that can analyze your transcript and tell you exactly whats going on with credits and refunds. Only costs a buck and saved me hours of research. https://taxr.ai

100% legit! Used it last week and it explained everything about my transcript in plain english. Better than calling IRS and waiting 4 hours 🙄
