How do I know if the government is going to take some of my return away. Last year I was suppose to get 7000 and I never got it because they took my whole return? Who to find out if this will happen a

Why did they take it?  You owe back taxes?  Child support? student loans?

Did you receive an IRS notice asking for information or the reason for the change?   Did you respond to the notice as requested?

Student loans but sense then everything is paid off I’m just trying to double check everything to make sure it doesn’t happen again

And no I did not get a notice from the IRS asking about anything.

If your student loans are paid off, and everything else is current, there should be no offset against your refund this year.

You may want to double check with the serving comapny on the student loans to be sure.
