The IRS would be the agency that can provide the most accurate information as to any changes made based upon their review of your return.

However, based upon the attached list of codes, the following codes are used for the following purposes as listed.

  • Code 806 indicates your return has a credit for income taxes and possibly excess FICA taxes withheld
  • Code 766 indicates your return has a refundable credit that could have been generated from various sources.  Please see page 29 of the link below for more details on the types of credits included
  • Code 768 indicates there is an Earned Income Credit generated

If the IRS does make any adjustments to your tax return, they will also notify you in writing of the changes and will give you instructions on how to reply if you disagree with their findings.
