IRS code 767: Refundable credit reduced or removed

The IRS reversed some or all of a refundable credit.

What code 767 means

Code 767 reverses a 766 credit that posted in error. It results from an examination or another tax adjustment.

Because it lowers your credits, it can shrink a refund or create a balance due. Look for a notice explaining the change.
