Tax topic 203, TOP says no offset

[Christina Faith]

Before filing this year, I called the Offset line to see if I had anything that I should be aware of. Sure enough, the automated line said there were 2 non tax debts for my SSN, both from student loans. Thank God I hadn’t filed yet. I consolidated my loans and confirmed that I was out of default. I called the Offset line every day to see if the debts were still attached to my SSN. Finally on 3/1 the Offset line said there were no non tax debts found for my SSN. I filed my taxes that day, and woke up to a DDD of 3/8 this morning. But it also shows TT 203. I called the Offset line again this morning and it still says no offset. Should I be concerned that tax topic 203 is showing on WMR?

Thanks for the update! I’m hoping to see my deposit tonight fingers crossed.

Checked this morning for the hell of it, got it 2 days early on my card, all of it!! You should get all yours!!

I’m thinking that anyone who had a looming offset has that message. I’m trying to have faith in the accuracy of the TOP line.

Ok, so I checked my loan servicer’s website. My account balance is showing the same amount since before I filed my taxes. My first payment is not due till April and I feel better about it knowing the phone line says no non tax debts.

From what I’ve read, if your deposit is applied to a debt, the Offset line would say that. Mine said no debts before and after I got my DDD. It’s probably nothing, but I won’t feel settled until I actually see the money.

I have the same issue. Consolidated my loans, day after my consolidation completed, I filed my returns, was accepted 2/23. Today, I have a dd of 3/8, but wmr showing tax topic 203. Freaked out, called the offset line, it says “no non tax debts.” Now, I hope that means nothing was taken out, OR it could mean they took it out already (which I will have to dispute!)
