Tax Year Prior to 2020: I recieved a deposit and it said TCS TREAS 449 for TAX REF for an amount much less than my expected return. Called offset number and it said i dont owe anything. Anyone?

I found out that the offset telephone number was not working correctly. So, although it said we did not have offset related to our socials, I called and spoke with someone in the treasury and they confirmed that my husband's student loan arrears offset our taxes.  It was very confusing because not only did the offset number verify that there was no offset related to our socials, I called and spoke with two separate individuals at the IRS and they also confirmed that there was no offset.  The treasury office said that people at the IRS would not know that it was offset.  Such a crazy system.  You can file an injured spouse claim to get your part of the offset if you are married and filed jointly.

Nobody is being hacked. Everyone was offset. I called the treasury and found that I had an offset for student loans.

When I call offset number, I can get all info related to my student loan offset. When my boyfriend calls with his social it says no offsets found. Both our refunds were deposited on same card. But it was less than 72 hours between the time his refund was accepted and the remaining was deposited. Seems unlikely it would be accepted, sent to student loan agency and the balance sent back to bank that quickly.

What is this TCS Treas 449 all about is that from the IRS did they withhold my text refund and if so why

When the IRS processes your refund and on the transcript you see TCS TREAS 449 for TAX REF that means the following: "If your client's refund is less than expected and you see a coinciding TCS TREAS 449 offset, this means that the tax payers refund has been reduced to repay a debt collected through the Treasury Offset Program. This program is designed to collect delinquent debts that are owed to states and federal agencies."

 

You, or your spouse have past due debts and your refund has been used either from the IRS and/or your state and applied to that debt. Call the IRS and/or your state and they will be able to assist you in why the refund was applied and how much was applied so you know if you are getting any of your refund back.
