Education offset

[Impatiently waiting in Louisiana]

Well after waiting for over a month I called today andffinally gotanswers aabout my return, I didn’t like the answers! My refund is correct, but he said I had a offset. I called the offset department just to find out it was from the department of education. My refund is for. $5580, I called them and they said that it was from a collection agency. I called them. The principal amount is a little more than $3000! But with interest its $6,349! They have no idea if irs is taking all my refund or even any! HELP!!!

on WMR i know it states your refund is being offset but does it state “Your refund may be reduced” or maybe you could also look at your transcripts?

I can tell you this, my principle to department of education was 920.00 They only took 735 and I’m paid all up. Dont ask me how, it makes no sense to me either. I called Dept. of ed they explained all of that to me (im not complaining!) so if you use what happen to me as an example it is very possible they did not take the FULL principle.

But you can call them, n they will tell you how much they took. Call the collector that has your debt and they should help you.

I’m still waiting on the remaining of my refund…… Hope this helps
