What's the difference between CP05 vs 4464C IRS verification letters?

The CP05 and 4464C are actually different types of verification notices. CP05 means they're reviewing your income, withholding, and tax credits - usually related to EIC, child tax credit, or education credits. The 4464C is letting you know they selected your return for a general review and they need more time. You don't need to do anything for the 4464C unless they ask for more info later. For the CP05, wait for their specific document request before sending anything in.

lol welcome to the verification club 🤡 been stuck since February

Bruh I got both of these last year. The 4464C is basically them saying 'we see you' and CP05 is them saying 'we REALLY see you' 😂

Anyone else notice they always send these for returns with EIC? Its like they dont trust anyone claiming it smh

Had this happen 2 me last year. Just dont send anything unless they specifically ask for it. I made that mistake and it delayed everything even more ngl

Got the same exact combo of letters last month! The waiting is brutal but definitely don't send anything unless they specifically request documents. I made the mistake of calling the IRS helpline 15 times and they just kept saying "wait for further notice" 🙄 Your refund is still processing, just gotta be patient unfortunately. The system is backed up big time this year.

I went through this exact same situation last year! Got both letters within a week of each other and totally panicked. The key thing is DO NOT send anything unless they specifically request documents in writing. I made the mistake of proactively sending bank statements and it actually slowed down my case because they had to match everything up. The CP05 review took about 16 weeks total for me, but once it was done my refund hit my account within 2-3 business days. Hang in there - the waiting sucks but you'll get through it! 💪

Same boat here! Got my CP05 in December and still waiting. The anxiety is real when you're counting on that refund 😅 One thing that helped me was setting up an IRS online account so I could check my transcript regularly - at least then you can see if there's any movement on your case. The automated phone system (1-800-829-1040) also gives basic status updates without having to wait on hold for hours. Just remember these letters don't mean you did anything wrong, they're just part of their verification process. Stay strong! 🤞
