Tax topic 203 in 2018 tax year and still got refund??

[Lablueble]

I am curious this is my first offset ever. Was just put on my ss# for student loans last week…. code 203 appeared after tt152 path msg this am. Full amount –no fees deducted for h&r.. 2nd bar dd 2/22 with 203 code…. offet line says full amount with dd. 2/22?? I know its slim but??

[SammySam]

I am curious when did the code 203 populate on your WMR was it when it stated approved or was it after the date the DD or mailed check was suppose to be sent out?

[Trey]

I filed 3/2
I’d verified 3/26
2 bars wmr with ddd 4/11with tt 203 for student loans from 2009…..remaining balance came today …. won’t pop up till 2nd bar (approved )with your full amount so if you have tt203,,,in your head you should know it’s probably gone don’t rely too much on it updating on wmr…trust me you rarely get around this it’s not there for no reason…sometimes it might take time for treasury to send in certain offsets so if you get away this year lucky you but they’re going to get it eventually (federal government dont play)

[Lboogie720]

I believe as soon as the return processes if u have an offset it goes to that agency. They take their amount and the rest gets refunded to u by that date. I could be wrong but that was my process.

[Aoki]

I’m in the same boat as Liholl.
Can anyone answer that? Have a DD date of 4/4, but with a code 203 as an offset. Does that mean we won’t get any money back?

[Danielle Cox]

Why does the wmr show my full refund and it was approved and I have a ddd of today but no money. I do have the 203 topic and owe student loans. Any chance in **** I will get my money? It’s the not knowing that sucks!! Why doesn’t wmr just say 0.00 if your not getting anything instead of saying something is going to my bank? I’m so confused!

[matthew]

did you get it.

[javii]

did you get it??

[Sese]

Does anyone know why a refund would say approve, sent and then a few days later get a offset code? Wouldn’t there had been a offset notice on WMR first?

[Prettymom]

I owe $9500 in student loans went into default in may. I got my whole refund they didn’t take anything lol Yay 8600 all mine

[Ana]

On WMR i get topic 201 i do owe taxes but not my whole refund i owe 3082 but my refund was for 7800 will they keep my whole refund? I have not received a letter or nothing from irs

[Jay lam]

IF YOUR REFUND IS APPROVED AND ISSUED THE DEBT ON THE HOTLINE IS PAYED AUTOMATICALLY SO IT WONT SHOW ANYMORE THE AMOUNT TOU OWE HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED FROM YOUR REFUND. THEY WILL TAKE WHAT YOU OWE!!!!

[Eileen]

I have TT 203 and expect that they will take my entire refund… on WMR it says sent, but nothing hit my TurboTax prepaid card so I am assuming they already took it…. any outside chance it could slip through? I have an old student loan from 2012….

[alesha busch]

same issue here I think. says on irs/gov that I am to get 12 grand and I only got 5. says it was dd yesterday in the amount of 12 grand but nope…I have the 203 thing too and when I call the offset number I get nothing listed for me or my husband…maybe the EIC for the kids hasn’t showed up yet? we have 3…

[Kayi3345]

Hello my ddd was feb 22 i have a offset as well but not my full refund. Today feb 23 and the rest of my money is still not here. Wmr says refund sent has anyone else exper3a delay due to off set

[Joey]

I had the same exact thing. Haven’t received anything. The offset line just says you have 1 offset in the amount of $$$ for payment on February 22, 2018… and so forth.

[Yungyo]

Anyone get money in Florida NetSpend or get return even with tt203

[Yungyo]

Thx kirkobangz anybody else got they refund with NetSpend on 2/22 cause I’m just looking stupid I told the world I’d pay today I’mma be missing by the 2/23

[brandie]

I just checked WMR and I’m on the 2nd bar still with TT203 … called the 800 number no debts owed , have anyone bar moved with this TT or have u received your refund yet with the full amount??

[Kirkobanz89]

@Yungyo yup got mine through Netspend as of yesterday 2/21/18 around 3:30p CST

[Yungyo]

Did anyone get any money with a2/22 date

[CanCan]

I have code 203 and I received a Lil over half my refund amount. Weird because because I called offset line a few days ago, and it says no debt. Before the update on the 17th, it stated one offset but it was dated for last year, when the US department of education (a federal loan) took out. The amount I currently owe on my loan isn’t close to was is missing on this years return. I checked my online account for my loan and they don’t show any Payments from IRS. I Gotta call in the AM, just to see what’s going on.

[Alex]

I recived the remainder of my refund after the debt was taken my DD was 2/22 just got it here in cali about 30min hope this help

[MilkMarie]

Hey its the 22nd tomorrow anyone that has the dd 2/22 an you hav the tt 203 i need to know if anyone received there moolah!!!

[Jaime]

@Courtney Groyon

When u called the offset line what did it say that u knew it took all your refund?

[Courtney Groyon]

@monstermom yes I just called the offset line and it changed from when I called over the weekend. They did in fact take it. So guess mine will be mailed off tomorrow as well lol good luck! Sucks we’ll have to probably wait til April

[MonsterMom]

@Courtney Groyon
Yeah, They will apply the entire refund to the offset. You should mail it out when it’s fully processed. I am going to send mine in tomorrow because they took the entire refund of ours for my offset. I didn’t work either.

[Courtney Groyon]

Light back question, even though I have no w2s yet my husband does… they can take his return? I got the TT 203 as well. I’m currently fighting my student loan since I’m in process of being discharged. i just paid JH to file my injured spouse and have to mail it in. Not sure if I should wait til Thursday to see if it’s deposited or go ahead and mail it off in the morning.

[Lablueble]

My ddd is 2/22. It actually says the total refund amount and that same date to be applied to the offset on the hotline ….

[rhuiz]

i guess if you put your actual email you can get updates from this discussion. @Labluele so does the offset line now say your debt has been paid? Also @Jmdylrc was your debt on the offset line stating debt has now been paid or did it state no debt found on this ss. Also was it on the offset line previously? trying to figure out this whole 203 code thing.

[Jill]

Has anyone received their full refund even though they have 203 code and offset line says no debts?

[Jaime]

@Toria code 201 is an irs debt and that will not be on the 800 offset number.

@Justin i believe that no matter if they take ur whole refund or not if the offset is paid will go off the offset line. That is from what i notice in past but i could be wrong…

[Toria]

What’s the difference between code 201 & 203? I got code 203 but called the offset line and there is nothing listed under my ss#. My full amount is still showing on WMR…. maybe it was on the offset line but disappeared after approval and maybe they already took their piece of the pie.

[Justin]

Mine is for last years state taxes owed but it was only listed on the offset 800# until we got the wmr update then it disappeared from the 800# but wmr gives me the 203 topic so I’m sure they took it out.

From what I’ve been seeing it looks like if the offset takes the whole refund it stays on the 800# but if it only takes some of the refund to pay off the debt it falls off the 800# and the person gets the topic 203.

[WaitinginTexas]

@amanda I pay state and the years that I don’t pay it I get that tax topic 203 which is them taking my state from previous year out of my federal. It’s never my ch though maybe 200 or a little over at best. Yours can also be much less. I believe the offset line is supposed to tell you what it’s for and the exact amount

[Ben]

Mine is DDD 2/22/18 and offset by entire amount. With same on 800# . I checked credit karma. Seen report showed student loan for me back in 2013… I was in prison haven’t filed taxes for 6 yrs. Never even knew I was approved for the loan,never went to school 1 day….the school loan was closed Oct. Last yr. Anyone been in sit. Like this?

[Amanda]

If the offset for owing irs wouldn’t it be a different code 201??? Where ours is 203

[Amanda]

I have topic 203 as well never had it before dd2/22 no letter for any offset called offset line says nothing for that social I don’t have no student loans child support any of that pray it’s a glitch only thing I have is a Jay walking ticket and speeding ticket do they take it for that?
I only got $15.00 in state but I never received it I have both credits on federal eic/actc filled hrblock

[Hey There]

If you are not reported on that line then you should be good.

[Hey There]

You have no chance my friend. They are taking the money. Happened to me 2 years in a row for student loans.

[Justin]

@Jmdylrc

If you call the offset number does it give you the information saying that they offset a portion to cover the debt? I’m just wondering if they drop the debt from the offset hotline if it didn’t take the whole amount. I have a debt for a very small amount of my refund but the offset line doesn’t even list it anymore. Oh and I do have Topic 203 on wmr with a DDD of 2/22. Since I paid TT fees using my refund I haven’t received anything yet on my netspend card.

[Jmdylrc]

@ lablueble
I had tt 203 and it taken out of refund and my refund yesterday on amex serve seems it didnt delay my return because it was sent to republic bank on friday

[Lablueble]

😳Anyone with a tt203 in 2018. Get they refund.. Read it has happened in prior years… Just curious??

[Justin]

WMR may show the full amount when you check it but if it is listed when you call the offset line they will take it. The only thing I could think of from the Dept of Justice would be restitution or something.

[Happytobealive]

I have the full refund amount with code 203. When I called the offset line, it says it’s from the dept of Justice. Any idea of what that is?

[Justin]

There is still something going on with the offset line though. I had a state tax debt I wasn’t able to finish paying off prior to filing so it was listed on the offset line up to the other night when it stopped listing that debt. I’m sure they are still going to take the $126 I owe them but it’s weird it disappeared.

[aliciad]

That offset line is for NON federal related debts like student loans, child suppt and state debts.

If u owe the IRS it won’t show there.

[Jarrett]

I have a DDD of 2/22 and nothing is listed on the offset line despite a 203 error. Hoping it’s a glitch.

[Dyesha:]

I have both bars also with a DDD of 2/22 and with code 203. I called the offset number with no info for my social. I never received a letter. I have a pending deposit missing over Half of my money. I definitely hope this is a mistake and can’t wait to call the IRS come Tuesday.

[Cisco]

Same here. I have a DD of 2/22. I have never seen this tax topic 203 on my WMR. It doesnt say how much I owe or who I owe. I dont owe anything that I know of and I called that 1800 number and same as everyone it says I dont owe anyone. Could this be an error?

[Justin]

I also have both bars with a DDD of 2/22 and a offset that is no longer listed when I call the offset line. Mine is just a partial offset but I’m kind of wondering whats going on with it.

[Lablueble]

Think you better off than me. The have my debt on the l1800 # listing my refund as the payment with the dd date to be taken… I have read some people got there refund in prior years.. Glitch or time frame delay? My debt is old but was on top of it minus last year.. Just was added to my ss last week..

[Toria]

Well I have code 203 but the offset line says I don’t have an offset. WMR has both bars DD 2/22 and full amount…. I need my money and hoping they don’t take it …this can be worked out if I do owe money.

[Liholl]

I have the same question. I have refund approved with a DDD of 2/22/18 but Topic 203. I called the offset line and do not have any offsets. Will I get my full refund?
