Tax Year Prior to 2020: Tax Topic 203 Is Showing What Does That Means ?

[Julianal760]

did you ever figure out what it means, I have that now and I don't owe anything Ive called the offset lines pressed both 1 and 2 and both show nothing

[Leauram]

I’m Wondering the same thing

[KrisD15]

That means that you are agreeing to let the refund go through a third party where the TurboTax fee is taken and the remainder of the refund is directed to you. 

The "offset" is the TurboTax fee. 

[Wcampbell0810]

I dont understand this at all I dont owe anything!!! No offsets on the offset line!!!

[Wcampbell0810]

So if we so not have an offset than it's just the Turbo Fees we elected to have taken out?

[Leauram]

But when I elected to use this service, it was free. Nothing indicated that I was being charged. 

[Jordy78]

That's absolutely incorrect.

203 offset code is for student loans, state, other federal agencies. It is not for turbotax fees at all. 

[Noddles76]

My refund was processed and I am receiving a 203 code I am wondering if I chose to pay my TurboTax fees out of my refund is this why I am receiving this notification

[MaryK4]

No, the 203 code is specifically for offsets by federal, state, and other agencies.

I went to the phone number listed and chose option 2 and option one neither one of them are saying that I have an offset I might not understand why I'm getting this code

It may not ring true. However. Thousands of us with PATH updated to 203 yesterday am. All of us had fees taken by turbo tax. None of us owe crud! Can't. No loans. No child support. Dont own a car. Don't pay rent. Etc. 

So wtf. Im scared. But i pray 🙏 and i know in my heart whatever happens happens. If anyone needs an ear or is also very scared right me on instagram. My ig @Logiebyyoga

[Logiebyyoga]

Scared brain. You may WRITE me. 

[Logiebyyoga]

My spouse has a VA offset!!! Praise him! Its for $97.28. Oh i thank God!!!!!

[Honeysweet504]

Will the refund still come on the ddd?

[Logiebyyoga]

Hey sis @Honeysweet504 

The best part of this other than the small amount was they confirmed both $43.00 offsets would be deducted on "FEBRUARY TWENTY 6 2020" I believe in my heart that yes...but have u found ur offset? It WILL be there. Its NOT turbotax. For me again, was 2 VA pffsets for my husband. 16 hrs of panic. Over $97.00. Wow.
