Thank you all for the information. I have a couple additional questions about how to prevent my refund being offset for defaulted student loans.
Firstly, regarding the coronavirus stimulus; if I forgot to file my 2018 taxes and I am owed a refund, will I receive the refund if I file after the March 13, 2019 offset cancellation cutoff, or does that only apply to the 2019 tax season?
Secondly; if I apply my 2018 overpayment to 2019, but either have little or no tax liability, will I receive a refund this year? Say I apply $2,000.00 from my 2018 refund towards 2019, but I show only a few thousand In income and the correct amounts were withheld from paychecks. Will I receive the $2,000.00 refund since it was still an overpayment and they are not processing offsets this year?
Thanks again!
