The Bureau of Fiscal Service administers tax offsets.

BFS will send you a notice if an offset occurs. The notice will
reflect the original refund amount, your offset amount, the agency
receiving the payment, and the address and telephone number of the
agency. BFS will notify the IRS of the amount taken from your refund
once your refund date has passed. You should contact the agency shown on
the notice if you believe you don't owe the debt or if you're disputing
the amount taken from your refund. If you don't receive a notice:
- Contact the BFS's TOP call center at 800-304-3107 or TDD 866-297-0517, Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST.
