Refund taken for unknown reason

Tosh1321 — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 14:58:30 GMT

My refund said my amount was being reduce for this offset it to pay:

Past-due child support;
Federal agency non-tax debts;
State income tax obligations; or
Certain unemployment compensation debts owed to a state (generally, these are debts for (1) compensation paid due to fraud, or (2) contributions owing to a state fund that weren't paid

What if we have no idea what the reason it would be taken for i recieve child support not owe.

Ive never had a fraud issue

Or compensation pay.

How do you find out what the money was owed too.

You'll get an explanatory letter from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service if your refund is offset. The remainder of your refund will be processed as usual. An offset shouldn't delay it, unless your entire refund was applied to your debt.

There could be a few reason's why your tax refund is lower than expected. Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information on refund offsets:
