Can my 2017 offset affect my 2018 return

[Jessicagonstad]

Last year my refund was kept for unpaid student loans for the amount of 5,375.30 that was what my return was suppose to be but as I said was offset . So this year while when I started to do my taxes I called to find out if they would take it again and the refund they kept last year came up . Does this mean I won’t get a return this year

Was the amount of your refund last year enough to pay off your student loan balance?  If so, your refund may not be affected.
