CP 79A - Earned Income Credit Two Year Ban

The IRS notice "CP 79A" is sent by the IRS to notify the taxpayer that they are banned from claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC) and will need to complete Form 8862 Information To Claim Certain Credits After Disallowance to claim the EIC on a future tax return. This is generally caused by the taxpayer being disallowed or receiving a reduced EIC.

The IRS may also contact the taxpayer after receiving Form 8862 to request any documentation it requires to issue the EIC.
