Call hotline social with no offset, but pushed the other button message said I owe state department of social services. Ok now everyone needs government assistance at times or go homeless.. Due to this I gotta go to court being evicted.. now I read u can file form 911,and call tax advocate in your area and they can help u with hardship try get no collection on tax refund for 10 years.. but must prove hardship.. plus if u got due date on your taxes it will show refund date and be garnish on that date who u owe on refund date.. it’s very unfair that money is printed everyday and it’s fake substance to control all of us.. and we do all what government ask get nuthin but pennies. Slavery bs to people we will never meet or sit at dinner tables with us.. rice is plastic,lettuce has plastic in it,chemtrails,earth is flat,nobody can leave this earth stimulator anyhow people can’t depend on government what do they really do for any of us there rich we’re poor, there taking or money fake world

@ mermaid

Thank you so much. Yes I gathered all the proof regarding my homelessness and will make calls tomorrow. But I’m so afraid that they won’t care. I even got a job offer to work on the military base and I couldn’t figure out why when it came to my background…everything abruptly stopped. I was in debt with the government unknowingly. I unintentionally lied on my application and said no I’m not in debt with the government. OMG

[mermaid]

@ Kim
I’m so sorry for your stress!!! I think because you are homeless, you have a legitimate reason to file for hardship assistance and get your refund. Contact the Treasury Offset program and see what they can do for you, especially if you can prove the homelessness factor. I’ve been researching the student loan tax refund offset topic on the internet and there are ways to try and fight for your money. I’m hoping and praying things work out for you and your kids.

[Kim]

I’m in the same boat. Had topic 152 up until yesterday. I consolidated my loans some years ago because I couldn’t keep up with everyone. I’m in good standing with the loan company WTH is this new topic I’m getting. After doing some research yesterday to my damn surprise there’s 2 companies that have my loans. And once again to my surprise I’ve been in default since November 2017. No one tried contacting me about the debt nothing on my credit report saying I defaulted. DDD Feb 27th I don’t know. I’m terrified because I’m a single mother with 3 kids 2 with special needs and we are homeless. I was counting on that money to put a roof over our heads. Keeping hope alive!

[Mermaid]

@Drod

Yes, now it says my adjusted amount to receive is $0. Bastards had it on the full amount all this time and even had the refund sent message up with on Friday. It all changed yesterday- if you owe the DOE more than your refund, expect WMR to eventually change.

There are people saying they owed the DOE and had loans in default but still got their refunds- I was hoping and praying I’d be one of the lucky ones that slipped through the cracks but I think they are getting as many of us as they can this year.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you. Just plan on them taking it.

[DRod]

@mermaid So does your WMR currently say $0? I am in the same boat with DOE offset, but my WMR says full refund amount since the update on 02/23.

[STL2ATL]

@Amber I am with you. I have the code too, but when I called the treasury line it said there was no offsets for my SSN. So I don’t know what is going on either as my DDD is 2/27.

[Amber]

I have tax topic 203 but no offset on the automated number. I even spoke to someone at treasury they said no offset. Why I have the code then????? I’m so worried. Please help!

[mermaid]

@Christian-
Try to make those arrangements now since you still have till the 27th. You can consolidate or see if there’s some kind of payment plan you can work out to avoid this hassle. I would call the DOE and fight for my refund. Things may turn in your favor and you might not have to deal with an offset. I wish I had known sooner because I would have definitely fixed it since I have other student loans in good standing. I’m pretty sure my consolidation is going to be approved so hopefully I can get my refund back- slim chance but I’ll definitely put up one heck of a fight to get it. Wishing you the best of luck!

[Christian]

Hello…I have an tax topic 203 code this year as well where my entire refund is being offset. I did not receive a letter about the default and this came as a complete surprise. It defaulted 2018. I thought I had options to make arrangements. I am seeing a lot of filers surprised by offset from DOE this year. I was really counting in my refund. I hope there is a chance I still receive it but I know highly unlikely. Good luck you guys. DD date 2/27/2019

[mermaid]

@Taylor and @KristinP-I came across your responses on this forum and kept checking back yesterday to see what your final result was as I was in the same situation as you guys are with a possible offset with the DOE. You guys didn’t update so I figure maybe you were lucky and got your refunds?

On 2/22/19, WMR updated to the refund sent status with my full amount still showing so I figured I was going to be OK. Since I’m in Hawaii, I also thought it might take an extra day or so to post to my account. But when I woke up this morning (2/23/19), WMR updated the message to reflect that it was applied to the stupid offset from the Dept. of Education instead. If you are one of the lucky ones and what you owe them is less than your refund, the balance left over will show. Unfortunately for me, they took my entire federal refund and I really needed that money too so what I’m left with is a balance of 0.

I didn’t get any notices from the Dept. of Ed either about an offset for the year or that I had some of my student loans in default. I just applied for consolidation so hopefully once it’s approved, I can fight this offset and try to get back my refund. I’m not married so I don’t have that injured spouse option but I sure do wish there was something out there for other singles like me who rely on things like their tax refunds to pay off large debts. Living in Hawaii on a teacher’s salary is not easy and I had a lot of high hopes on that refund.

Sucks but it is what it is.
Would love to hear what has happened for anyone else that was in the same situation.

[Taylor]

@Kristinp Im not sure how accurate the information is that Philly stated. I have already been approved on the WMR site and on my transcripts for a DDD of 2/22/19 however I read on the Treasury site itself that “AFTER” the IRS approve refunds its “THEN” sent in a database for debts. If it matches a hit according to name and TIN number then it will be Offset. So I guess that would explain why some people dont show offsets until the day of deposits.😔😔

My coworker had hers taken last year for student loans from 2012. She said they wouldn’t offset mine yet since my loan just defaulted in 2018 but again im new to this stuff so im not 100% sure about any of it until the 22nd actual gets here! Best of luck to us both!!!

[aod92]

@Philly I am a little confused with your answer. So are you saying that if you used H&R or Turbotax and are seeing the offset with the DDD date, but are sure you do not have one, that it is because the fees are being deducted from the federal refund? I have filed with turbotax for years, and never seen this before so if that is the case, is it new for this year? Has H&R been getting a lot of calls about it?

[Taylor]

@Philly I did get my taxes done by HR Block and the Fees are paid through my tax refund. I have used them for years and never got that message so I was worried. Thank you for the information!!!

[Philly]

I work for H&R so if you’ve seen any offsets on your taxes and its not showing up on IRS side. Then yes that offset is for what either H&R,TurboTax or any of these big companies have agreed with you to pull for payment. Don’t panicd you guys. YOUR TAXES ARE COMING IRS is running jittier this year due to that BIG GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN trump can’t get his funds soo you know how that goes.

[Kristinp]

@taylor I’m in the same boat! First time dealing with this. DOE gave no warning and bam! Smh. If you are married you can file an injured spouse form to get some or all of the refund back. That’s prob what I’m gonna have to do since my husband is the only income and we filed jointly. When I call offset option 2 tells me debt from doe but no amt, so I dk what the hell is gonna happen.

[Taylor]

I called the Offset number…first hit option 2 says I have a debt…pressed 9 to get back to beginning to press option 1 says no offsets on my social but that they add them daily. However, I have read on a few posts that if they dont report an Offset by October then it wont until the next year. Im not familiar with how it all works as this is my first time on a student loan default. I dont know how TRUE that information is.

[Kristinp]

@coachmom thank you. Same number I called too. Mmm weird bc I just literally called there a half hr ago and same old generic message. Will try again here in a few.

[Coachmom]

@Kristinp

800-304-3107

I checked early this morning and it was just the generic info that there is an offset. When I called a little bit ago the amount was updated.

[Kristinp]

@coachmom what number did you call? Says I have an offset too but no amount given DD is 2/22. Everyone is saying I’m still getting offset but no real clear answer. Filed with Turbo tax with fees removed from my return. My offset is for dept of edu, just says 1 debt and could be offset. No amount yet and just gives me their number and that’s it.

[Coachmom]

I have DDD 2/22 with offset. Today the offset number had the amount updated with the same payment date as my DDD.

[Nicole]

I also received a ddd of 02/22/19 but tax code 203. Called offset line and pressed option one and no offset, called back and pressed option 2 and says one with edu. I called the number for federal offset and didn’t get anywhere.. so I then called turbo tax and they stated if u used ur taxes to pay your turbo tax fees it is triggering code 203 because it will be reduced because of fees.. anyone else hearing this? I have received no letters regarding any offset.. ugh this is so fustrating.

[Jerrica]

@Taylor Normally if it shows a debt, even though no amount, they will offset. Happened to me last year.

[Harm]

Taylor, I was also told the same thing by the guy in charge of my account at collection agency. If it wasn’t listed or certified by October then it would be for the following year…but who knows 😑

[Momma_2_5]

We have an offset and that’s our DDD.

[Taylor]

Ive been calling the Offset line everyday for the past week. It says no offsets under my social (when I press option 1) (option 2 says 1 Debt but no amount )

I read on one of these posts that if your debt doesnt hit the offset line by a center time (i think October)then its not going to be offset. Not sure how true that is.

I received my state refund this past Friday. My Federal refund has been approved but I do have the 203 code on WMR. Im only checking my transcripts and WMF once per day.

[Mommahoot82]

Had the 203 topic last year but no offeset ever came thru. The hotline didnt have anything either.

[Kristinp]

I didn’t have any offsets on the hotline months prior bc I checked! Got a dd of 2/22 with topic 203 and bam offset line says 1 debt for the dept of edu but no amount.

[Stacy]

And what was crazy is that I called last year and every week before I filed and it said I didn’t have a offset so why is 203 showing up now

[Stacy]

I called TOP and it said I don’t have any offsets

[Kristinp]

Thank you all. Dept of edu said they will be taking the refund bc I’m on the “offset” list. But offset line says 1 debt to the dept of edu, no amt. and may be taken. It’s been a mess! No notices of all this til now. Waiting for my DD to pass on Friday to see and than file an injured spouse form, never had to do this so I’m so confused. Husband is the only income so I hope we get something back. I don’t work and now I feel so bad this is happening. Like literally feel like shit bc of this! Wish the damn loan servicer would of reached out but they did, so I had to track them down to get on a payment plan! Transcripts still show 846 refund issued for 2/22 and wmr still shows full amt to bank on 2/22. This feels like a nightmare!

[BlueCityChic]

@Kristinp
If you have a DDD on WMR without Tax Topic 203 at the bottom, then chances are your return will not be offset.

[Acemommy]

@kristinp your husband can file injured spouse and it that will give you his portion of the return if taken. Going forward, file that form with your taxes and it shouldn’t take as long.

[Kristinp]

Same here @harm. I did call my loan servicer with the us dept of Ed and set up a plan. They were really nice about it but didn’t have any info on an offset. Tops line still says refund may be offset but no amount and wmr still shows approved for a dd date of 2/22. Tops and irs are both closed today due to a federal holiday. Ugh I could scream! Had I known about this months ago I would of already had this taken care of! No notices or notice of intent to offset me! It’s like a huge waiting game I guess. I don’t even have two penny’s to rub together rn and was planning on using our small refund to catch up on bills. This tax return is pretty much my husbands since he’s the only income but we had to file married joint for the tax breaks, now this bs! I’m sick over this mess!

[Harm]

Same here! I was told if your refund was approved then the offset line would update to how much will be taken on your DDD…but still no amount on the tops line. Still says could be. Can’t call anyone until tomorrow…🤦🏽‍♀️

[Kristinp]

Will your transcripts show the offset code before your 846 code? Bc I have no offset code on my transcript but shows 203 on wmr, this is mind numbing! My transcript shows 846 with a ddd of 2/22/19. Fees from turbo tax deducted from my federal return.

[Jennifer Starr]

I had 2 offsets, I knew about them, I called the offset line before I filed and again last Tuesday and they were still there. I called the line again yesterday and they were gone. I’m hoping that means I will receive my refund shortly. I have never gone past 2/22, no offset codes are showing on my transcripts and I don’t have a DDD on WMR, however, I’ve never had a DDD on WMR before I received funds.

[aod92]

@Bull$hitcard do you have any Offsets?

[aod92]

@Patrick there would be an offset code on your transcripts. I have no offsets. I messaged turbo tax and this was the reply I received. You have your bank fees and Turbotax fees taken from your refund?

“A refund offset is when an IRS refund is reduced or was intercepted to pay off delinquent debt, such as past-due child support, outstanding student loans, or unpaid state income tax. When you pay with your refund you are taking money away from yourself thus reducing your refund. TurboTax’s refund processing fee triggers the 203 code because your refund is being reduced to pay off your TurboTax “debt.”

[Patrick]

How do you know if I have offset on transcripts?

[Kristinp]

I’m in that boat too. Unaware! Says 1 with dept of edu but called dept of edu and no records found! Dd of 2/22/19, transcript show no offset. Used turbo tax and had my filing fee paid from my tax refund.
