The IRS is auditing your Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) claim and has frozen your refund pending verification. They need you to prove that your qualifying children and income meet the EITC requirements.
Provide proof of qualifying child relationship (birth certificate, school records, medical records) and residency (utility bills, lease, school enrollment).
Send all documentation to the address on the notice by the deadline. Keep copies of everything.
If you need more time to gather documents, call the IRS and request an extension before the deadline.
A CP75 means the IRS is auditing your Earned Income Tax Credit claim. Your refund is on hold until you provide documentation proving your eligibility.
Birth certificates, school records, medical records, and lease or utility bills showing your child lived with you for more than half the year.
Typically 6–12 weeks after you submit documentation. Responding quickly and completely speeds up the process.
