IRS CP75 Refund Review Response Kit

What Is CP75?

CP75 is a Refund Review Notice. The IRS is holding your refund while it verifies certain items claimed on your return.

This commonly involves:

• Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)

• Child Tax Credit (CTC)

• Education credits

• Claimed dependents

• Filing status eligibility

This does not automatically mean you owe money. It means the IRS requires documentation before releasing your refund.

Why You Received CP75

CP75 is typically triggered when:

• Claimed dependents require residency verification

Your refund will remain frozen until the issue is resolved.
