Taxes offset, what to do

[Hopeful Tom]

Was supposed to receive taxes today but it went to irs for defaulted student loan. I thought this not supposed to happen, we desperately need this like many of you. No stimulus yet either. I hate to ask for help, tomorrow is easter, if anyone could spare bide love to save easter for our 2 girls. I have a cash app at $myclodel

Sry to ask that here, I just can’t see their faces in the morning and no easter.

How do we get out taxes if it went to an offset when that is not supported to happen? I’m one payment away from getting out of default, we only filed for the stimulus or we would of waited to file so we get it, but they said no more offsets for now. How can they do that.

Yes get in there and fill that stuff out and keep certifying you will be approved instantly they need no proof of income etc it’s worth a shot!!!

[hopeful- tom]

I think once I fill out the papers they sent me they may look it and do something about it . I guess I will do that see what happens before appealing it. or wait the however many weeks and reapply. i dont know, this was all confusing.

@Heidi im self employed as well, im sure i filled it out wrong. i got a letter to fill some stuff out, but even though i was denied when i logged in the other day there was the window at the top talking about the PUA, but i also ready somewhere that you have to qualify for unemployment benefits to get it, and since i was denied I figured I would not be getting it.

@hopeful-Tom why did Michigan deny you unemployment ??? That’s terrible I was denied 2 weeks ago but I had message in my claim to file for PUA and I should see check next week I’m self employed. I am curious because you can appeal and reapply wondering if it could help in your situation.

[hopeful- tom]

fwiw, in michigan if you were self employed or 1099 you can apply for unemployment as of today. and if approved you will get an extra 600 a week till end of july.
I was denied, but passing it along for others if it helps..

$myclodel is my cash up on off chance anyone its not sinking as bad as us. I was able to get to meijer and got the girls easter baskest and some eggs/candy so easter wasnt ruined thankfully, stores have been out of dog food tho, and ide order some online if taxes or stimulus would come. i dont know what to do, good luck to you all, prayers for all…

[hopeful- tom]

still nothing, no response from dhs yet on food card. taxes def went to edu, when i call edu it says they have no record of an offset that they would be sending back or something. it was automated, didnt get to speak to anyone. still nothing on the stimulus yet. Has anybody get anything back from edu yet?

Happy Easter to you as well…I hope you get the outcome you are looking for!

not taking taxes from student *debt* right now

[hopeful- tom]

im sure it will be hard to get, but they also said they are not taking taxes from student right now because of people needing money. I am going to call tomorrow see if I can talk to anyone on the edu side of things. best of luck to all, happy easter….

Your stimulus payment won’t be offset by student loans. The only thing they are offsetting those for is child support payments. So you should get it. Your refund will be hard to get any portion back but like someone suggested, you can file for the injured spouse. It’s not a quick process though.

[hopeful- tom]

thanks, sadly we both owe, hers i have almost paid off, mine I got like 1 more payment. to get out of default. im hoping we it goes to our bank and dont have to wait for paper check, .

good luck to you all, lockdown and no income surly sucks for more than just me. Even i could get my last check at least that would help while we wait.

[Acemommy]

It won’t happen immediately, but if you are married, your spouse can file the injured spouse form and you should get back your spouse’s portion of your refund. Good luck!

[hopeful- tom]

still no pending deposits, easter in couple hours for this kids, was counting on these hitting yesterday. happy easter to all, i hope you all not in the same position as us, we filled for unemployment and food card, were north of detroit so whole states been on lockdown, i cant even get my last check from a few weeks ago.

prayers go out to you all.
