The remainder of your refund will be processed as usual; an offset shouldn't delay it.

Well the offset is delaying my refund. My DDD was 2/22... and I haven’t received anything!

@Hannah.fick1988 was it a student loan? I have a irs debt and they said they can’t give me a date until they deduct the money owed from my refund? I filed 1/22!! How long could it possible take! Ugh.

I had to get 800.00 to the IRS themselves. Does it take long to get remaining balance.  I filled and was accepted 2/15/2018. How much longer?

Mine was delayed, as well. My refund was "accepted" on 02/01/2018; it is now 02/28/2018 and my refund still shows "processing". I did speak to the IRS over the phone (after 21 days had passed) and was advised it is delayed because they are processing an offset; they advised a 1-2 week delay in the refund. Hopefully the remainder of my refund will be approved and released within the next week. I'll keep you updated.

@tfitch110 same situation. Was told everything was processed but I had to wait for the rest to be released. She said if it wasn’t by the 16th Of march then to call back but that she didn’t think that would be the case

@kash2131 the money you owed was to the irs? Did you have any other offsets not money owed to the irs?

I was told money owed to the irs was quick, no delay in issuing your refund because the money goes to them and they release but if you have an offset to anyone else they then send it to them first they remove the money then it gets released to you. So it takes a couple more days.

@javier.jmoreno25. No I don't owe nothing else just that, & I called them they said it was collected the day my refund was sent out Feb 28. But that's it, & I guess now it's a waiting game?! Since they got there part will they still put it in my bank account or just send a check? And can it post in my account any time of day? Thanks 🙂 -Katie

Okay so that means your whole refund was sent to them. Then they will release the rest to you. So it takes longer because it leaves the irs then goes to child support, then they release it to you. So it could be a few more days.

Our return was processed 2/19 (had EITC) and transcript says offset will be paid 3/5, along with a letter sent out by mail.  IRS agent said refund will be deposited before 3/12. It's been a long waiting game...

I also have an offset(only owe irs) i called yesterday and they said there was a delay in their system thats why it's taking long to get the remainding balance the guy said if i dont receive it by the 23rd to call the irs again and they will get me a tax advocate,this is frustrating

I know this is so stressful. I actually been on phone with everyone today! I wish I could get my letter in mail already..

We were told on the 20th we'd get a letter any day with offset details (2015 taxes due). Not a single letter yet.  We've even had time to order a paper 2017 transcript and receive it.  I think the agents say anything to satisfy those calling.

@lirobbins I was told the 16th.. by the 16th we’d have our money but that they didn’t have a for sure DDD.. that because of owing to the irs they had to back track and review our past returns to make sure we don’t owe anything else. They said owing the irs delays refunds because of that, yet on their website it says it doesn’t. None of the information makes sense.. but I pray I have some news this weekend and my money by next week! Ours was finished processing since the 12th!! Waiting to be released since then

My WMR says my check was mailed 30th if March BUT i had an offset (which they already took from state) So now when i call to look for my check they say because of offset remaining balance wont be mailed until April 9th

I wonder if it will be the same process. I owe for unemployment overpayment in another state. I hope I don't have to wait until March, but reading the post from you guys I probably will.
