Possibly, it depends on what the offset was for.
- The Federal and State tax collection agencies are independent processes, but
- A State refund can be offset if you have outstanding State debts, or if the IRS places a levy against your State refund for unpaid federal taxes,
- The IRS will also give a notice, after the levy, offering you the opportunity to appeal the debt offset.
- "The Department of Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS) issues IRS tax refunds.
- Through the Treasury Offset Program, the IRS may reduce your refund and offset it to pay:
- Past-due child support;
- Federal agency nontax debts;
- State income tax obligations; or
- Certain unemployment compensation debts owed to a state (generally, these are debts for
- Compensation paid due to fraud, or
- Contributions owing to a state fund that weren't paid)."
