Offset??? - (us Dept Of Education)??? So I filled my taxes and waited and a few days later my refund was approved and all I had to do was wait..Well in the midst of all that waiting I finally got an update and then this is what It says:
"Your refund has been applied to a past due obligation such as child support, another federal agency debt, or state income tax. The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS), who issues IRS refunds, will send you a notice informing you of the reduction.
If you do not receive the notice within two weeks contact the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS) at 800-304-3107.
Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 203, Refund Offsets for unpaid child support and certain federal, state, and unemployment compensation debt
