It is possible that you owed IRS and they took your refund
to offset the debt and back taxes. I will suggest you
contact the Treasury Offset Program at 800-304-3107 to find out if your refund
was reduced because of an offset. If this does not apply to you or you
feel refund was reduced in error, call the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service
at 1-877-777-4778. The service is free.
Here are the possible
reasons when the offset is taken:
·
Past due child
support;
·
Debts owed to a
federal agency;
·
Unemployment debts
owed to the state;
·
Past due federal
student loans;
·
Unpaid state income
tax.
For more information, see RefundOffset
It is also possible that your state reduced
your refund for debts owed in your state—if the state reduced your state refund
you will receive a letter from the state.
