The LTR 2797C responds to an inquiry you made about your tax refund. The letter explains the current status of your refund: whether it's been processed, whether it's being held for review, whether it was offset to another debt, or whether there's a processing issue causing the delay.
Common Responses
Your refund was issued on a specific date (check your bank account or watch for a check). Your refund is being held pending review or verification. Your refund was offset to a balance in another tax year or to a non-tax debt. Your return hasn't been processed yet due to a backlog or processing issue.
Next Steps
If the refund was issued and you didn't receive it, contact the IRS to trace the payment. If it's being held for review, wait for the review to complete or respond to any documentation requests. If it was offset, review the underlying debt. If processing is delayed, wait through the stated timeframe.
