If tax is offset. I still get refund after they get the payment Will the rest of my refund still go direct deposit and will it take longer to get remainder of my refund

It may take an additional day or two, but the remainder can still go direct deposit.

I went through the offset program last year. For me... It did take a little longer to get the balance of my refund... I received a paper check, in the mail, with a break down, as to who funds were given to and the amount.

I just have 1 offset. So hopefully it doesn't take to long

The remaining amount of refund should be paid by direct deposit if that is what you have chosen. It may delay the refund but from personal experience it's not much of a delay unless there are other issues.

That's what I'm wondering as well. My offsets will be paid tomorrow 2-26-20 its says I was approved for direct deposit. It also gave me a date of 3-2-20 last year they sent a paper check it took me 8 weeks to get my refund back. Let me know if you get yours direct deposited after your offset please.
