I have Student loan debt but need this year's return to prevent eviction/homelessness w/ my children. Is there a form that can be filed to prevent them taking my refund?

If you have an "offset" due to a past due debt such as Student Loans, the only way to prevent the offset is through your lender. How do you know if your taxes are going to be taken?

The IRS provides a toll-free number which you can call, go through the automated prompts, and see if you have any offsets pending on your social. Their number is (800) 304-3107. Please note, due to federal law, the IRS cannot give out any information related to Federal Tax Debts on this automated line, only offsets from states and other delinquent debts.
