Per @SweetieJean post, this could be a generic message.

IRS Treasury Offset Department at 1800-304-3107

That's the number I called and it said no offsets. Hopefully it is just generic. I can't think of anything I could owe. Thank you!

Got my refund and it is all good.

Hi I had a question did you owe 200 back to the unemployment , when they took it out your taxes ? 

[IzzysMom17]

What? No. Unemployment gives you the options to have taxes withheld or not. I chose not to. What are u talking about?

[Stanmarie10]

I got a little message saying my taxes would be offset do to a debt so I called the number and it told me something about Louisiana Department of Revenue, so the only thing I was thinking about that I owe was the repayment of 65.00 I was just wondering like how much of my taxes were they taking for that to be repayed . 

[IzzysMom17]

I really don't understand.  You asked me did I know the irs took $200 for unemployment taxes???

[Critter-3]

If the debt was $65 then $65 woud be a correct assumption unless there were some additional fees, penalties or interest.

Hi , I had a question I got a little statement on my wmr that says I have a offset , I called and it says I have 1 debt and I think it’s unemployment bc that’s the only thing I think I owe so do they take there repayment back from my state or federal return ?

If you are seeing the offset message on the IRS site, that means the money is being taken out of your federal tax refund.

[Stanmarie10]

Thank you ! And so I did see on the unemployment letter it says the penalty amount you are assessed for this overpayment is $20.00. 

[Stanmarie10]

Thank you !
