      I filed my taxes as of April 3rd because my w-2 got lost in the mail so I had to wait on that. Well I check today on the were is my refund app and I am now approved but getting the message my refund is gonna be reduced to pay past obligations.

      I called the numbers given to me and find out the only offset I have is 1 and to call US Dept of ED. I thought they could and would not garnish you but they are garnishing me. I mean I was kind of shocked to even see them give me this message if they aren’t gonna take my tiny refund from me.
      I cannot call anyone now until Monday but still lost why this even happened.

      I did have one person tell me, “According to the Department of Education, if the offset was in place before March 13th, there was no way to stop the offset even if you filed after the March 13th date.” Two questions to that though. Then what is the point of some people even waiting to file after March 13th? The other question how and can a offset be put in place before I even file taxes and if that is the case then how is anyone safe if they can just place offsets before you file every year?

      Anyone else having this problem?
