What does 'Notice issued' mean on IRS transcript? Should I be worried?

Just checked my transcripts and saw a 'Notice issued' on my account. Im freaking out. Has anyone seen this before? What does it mean and should I be worried? Been waiting on my refund for 2 months now and this is the first update I've seen.

A notice issued could mean several things - from simple information requests to adjustments in your return. Without seeing the specific code that accompanies the notice, it's hard to say exactly what it means. Check your transcript for any codes next to the notice (like CP12, CP05, etc). These codes tell us exactly what type of notice you're getting.

Look in the transaction section. It should be next to the date of the notice. If you're having trouble, try taxr.ai - it reads these codes automatically and tells you exactly what they mean

Honestly the best way to understand whats going on is to use taxr.ai. It costs $1 but it reads your entire transcript and tells you exactly what everything means, including notices. I use it whenever I see updates on my account and it's been a lifesaver! https://taxr.ai

Did you claim EIC or child tax credit? Those usually trigger more reviews and notices
