Can hospital take your taxes

[xmasbaby0]

@srk4 2016?    TurboTax never never knows about offsets to your federal or state refunds.   The IRS or state does not tell TurboTax when a refund is seized for a debt you owe.   When your refund was seized you should have received a letter from the IRS or state---whichever one seized it----that explained why your refund was taken.  Contact either the IRS or state to see if they can give you the proof that your refund was taken.

To call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.

Not sure if anything about that would show up in your IRS account, but check it to see:

The debtor is informed in 60 days in advance that an offset will happen, but you may have moved since your last filing, and find this to be a complete surprise. You do have rights in addition to that notice, such as the debt not being in bankruptcy, forbearance, or under appeal.

How Do I Find Out for Sure?

To find out if your federal tax refund will be offset, you will need to call the Bureau of Fiscal Service directly. Their number is 800-304-3107. You may not have anyone else call for you, nor may you call on anyone else’s behalf, this is a criminal offense – don’t do it.

@Tommy2ton

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 3 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
