What do IRS Transcript Codes 766 and 768 mean? Need help understanding
I've been looking at my transcript and I see codes 766 and 768 but I have no idea what they mean. Can someone explain these to me? Starting to get worried because its been weeks since these showed up.

Tax expert here! Code 766 refers to credit to your account and 768 is earned income credit. These are generally good signs - they mean the IRS has processed these credits for your return. However, seeing these codes doesn't necessarily mean your refund is coming immediately.

•Yes, but the timeline can still vary. Keep an eye out for code 846 - that's your actual refund issued date.

•100% legit! They use bank-level encryption and don't store your data. I was skeptical too but it saved me hours of googling random codes lol
