Tax topic 201!! PLEASE HELP

[Brooklyn]

Anybody ever got this?? I don’t own any debts never received any letters been filing the same return since 2007 same house same dependents…someone said it could be identity theft???!!!!

[Joshua]

You should just call the IRS and question then about it.

[Natalie]

Tax Topic 201 is an IRS debt. I got the same thing. They claim that I owed something from 2015. The rep also stated that my husband and I didn’t file jointly that year which is bs. We have been filing jointly since 2009. She said I would be getting something in the mail. I thinks it’s totally bogus and they’re just doing what they want.

I have a DDD of 02/26 Have abn offset on the WMR it says the remaning balance will be sent today. I got the deposit but it was 1500 less than what it said my remaning balance was. Anyone know whats going on with that one??

[Kristen]

I just git that same message 1091,201 and I have done my taxes every year we the Sam person and I have always receive money so please tell me how could I owe the IRS anything I don’t make enough to pay out I don’t pay child support and I didn’t claim bankruptcy I really hope this is a mistake

My refund got reduced down to $100 with Tax Topic 201
Don’t understand what happened!
Never got a letter and very concerned right now :(
I’m hoping it’s an IRS error

@ashley

At least it wasnt $600 when I owed $180 like they stole from me! :(

[Ashley Lopez]

My husband has the same issue. He was gonna get back 5,414 now it say his refund was reduced to 5,340 dude to past due obligations. He has a ddd for the 22 will he get his refund tmrw?

[Brooklyn]

I AGREE DEE!! I hope you get your money very soon. I spoke with my friend who’s a CPA and I let him know in 2015 I did take 2k from my 401k and that could possibly be the issue but he advised me even with the penalty it wouldn’t have been worth the 5k+ they had taken I don’t have any other “IRS debts” so I’ll be calling to get transcripts because I can’t verify via irs.gov hopefully it’s movement on both of our behalf’s very soon…IRS SUCKS LOL

Mari I don’t have the refund amount nor a deposit date…My wife thinks they hold the total refund for the IRS debt and will release the rest and I pray that’s true…we just had a newborn and a soon to be four year old so this would have been a nice come up

Mark my mother in law is a loan consultant and she says she sees this quite often as a mistake on the IRS behalf but I won’t know for sure until I call…let’s all meet back here Tuesday with updates if possible

Everyone I spoke with it’s optimistic about getting the money so fingers crossed

@Dee, does it show a refund balance and ddd for you? mine is 900 less but states the remaining balance will be deposited on 2/22..

[dee]

I’m in the same boat. I owed the IRS 700+ dollars. They took my entire refund of 6k. I’m hoping they send me my remaining balance. I’m confused and upset at the same time.

[Mark]

Could this be a mistake on the irs?

[Mari228]

i got tax topuc 201 this morning! i only owed for state but they took that from state already . i do show a ddd 2/22 for the balance. anyone else show a balance to be deposited on wmr? will i get that amount? this is freaking me out..

[Brooklyn]

And I normally order transcripts or call to make sure my return is processed normally but I knew the drill with path it wasn’t a reason to now I’m regretting not following through…thinking about getting a tax advocate never had one though

[Brooklyn]

I don’t have a credit card or mortgage to verify my identity 😩😩

[RDragoo1985]

I have checked the offset line religiously and 2 days ago there was a message that said because of laws federal IRS debt would not be listed on the offset line. It suggested going to the same screen you go to to access your transcripts and click on the link to “view tax account” to see if you had any outstanding federal irs debt. I didn’t but it’s the first time I’d ever heard that message and I’ve been calling the offset line at tax time for 4 years.

[Brooklyn]

I didn’t know anything until my WMR updated everything was normal up until this point. Been on path then udspted from there and then this morning I had Tax topic 201 reference code 1091

[Brooklyn]

Ive never had any issues filing since 07 so I’m really lost but I’m calling them on Tuesday for sure hopefully it’s a mistake on they’re part….Did t delay your refund by much??

[Vee]

Call 18008290582 EXT 652. I called yesterday because the IRS say I owe almost $2000 in interest and penalties. They have no record of me owing anything and I’ve received my refund for the last 4 yrs w/o any issues. I didn’t have a hold time and the rep was extremely helpful

[Brooklyn]

I’ll keep you updated and vice versa!!!

[LJ]

Just got the same mess. No letters or anything.
What a bum deal.

[Brooklyn]

[Brooklyn]

I’m curious to know how I owe them? This my first time having an issue with my taxes. I always file legit and I only have one source of income…someone said in a griupnit could have to do with id theft I guess but I’ll be waiting until Tuesday I guess 😭

[Mark]

I just called them too. I don’t have any debts

[LadyV]

You’ll need to call the IRS because that’s a code saying you owed on taxes to the IRS

[Brooklyn]

I called them and there was no offsets for my social

[LadyV]

Call the tax offset number 800-304-3107

[Brooklyn]

I file every year same way with W2- went from path to processing to tax topic 201

[Brooklyn]

Exactly what I said refund was for over 5k and they took the whole thing smfh

[Mark]

I got the same message. I don’t understand how I could possibly owe anything
