After you file

It depends. Normally, if your refund is going to be offset due to Student Loans, the Financial Management Service (FMS) will send you notification of the proposed seizure of your refund in advance.  It is definitely a more positive sign to see Tax Topic 152 as opposed to Tax Topic 203 on WMR, but it is not a guarantee that your refund will not be offset.

I would suggest you can contact FMS at 1-800-304-3107 to check and see if you have any potential refund offsets on record so that you will know for sure.
