If irs status says sent does that mean no offset was taken out of it?

Most likely or they would show that you had a reduced refund or some other status.

It says status sent but has topic 203 saying refund might be offset. Would it say sent if there was an offset larger then refund? The might be is what throws me off. N all the numbers I call for it say it might be offset. So how do I know if status says sent

Sorry to bother you, but what ever up happening with your situation.   I'm dealing with the same thing.  It says I have an offset, then it showed the new adjusted amount and the where's my refund bar says that the new amount was sent to my bank.  Do you know what i should expect?

You can get information by looking up your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund page. It will usually take up to 5 business days to see the funds in your account. Please refer to the article below to understand a refund offset.

Why is my direct-deposited refund or check lower than the amount in TurboTax?
