How do I find out if there is an offset on my return?

You can contact the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS) at 1-800-304-3107 to check with them about any potential refund offsets on file for you.

I'm pretty sure BFS is not answering phone calls because of the government shutdown. It's part of the Treasury Department, which is affected by the shutdown. You will probably have to wait to call until after the shutdown ends.

The BFS phone number above is for an automated system and doesn't seem to be affected by the government shutdown at this time.
