Topic 203 – Refund Offsets for Unpaid Child Support, Certain Federal and State Debts, and Unemployment Compensation Debts

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone

Many of us are in the same situation. We’ve been discussing it here for the past week. Many of us have been this way since Tuesday 1/27.

ddd 2/4 as well what is topic 203? i hate this waiting game

[s trask]

Wmr is back up and running. No updates or changes on my end after being down. Too bad.

[kylie]

Ok so I’m wondering will I get an up date because when I try to log in to wmr it says try again later but when I log in with my mom’s info it open straight up with her info for her DDD of feb2. So I tried it twice an it still want let me in but will let her. So hopefully it’s updating with good news. I filed 1/20 accepted same day. transcripts 000’s. Still no DDD. Last year cycle code ends in 01..

Maggie
I had insurance through my employer

[Jenn7]

Can see transcripts as of Thursday but they say 0.00 (account)

Was hoping that would change but it hasn’t budged. Someone menchined the whole 05’s updating once a week (which I would be again because of a change so 05 for going on 4 year) any way they believe since we are 05s and we filed after 1/22 this would mean that we would be in the next batch. Which would mean an update next Thursday with a deposit date by Friday of next week. Possible deposit posting the following week after.

Makes sense how they explained it.
Certainly sucks. Hopefully we all budge soon

[straysoul]

1040 not return ussually it is hr blocks accunt number

[Jessica]

Mine was saying return recieved, then Friday it started saying your refund is still processing, your refund date will be provided when availible. I tried calling but it hasn’t been 21 days, not like i was trying to bug them but my message isn’t mentioned anywhere on the irs site.

[straysoul]

i am hoping for a refund sent update but in past years i ussually get that bar 2-3 days after its on my emerald card. last year it went through fees at h&r bank and was on my card right on my ddd but this year my account number somehow got put on my return so idk. maybe i will get it sooner.

[Kathi]

I am under review also..I am waiting for a letter from the IRS…I claimed HOH, claimed my daughter and grand daughter as I have for the past 4 years as they live with me and I support them both my daughter doesn’t work at the moment so now I guess I just wait for their letter and see what it is they want…Not happy, but hopeful it will all work out in the end

[Anonymous]

Yea, I’ve checked both. I’m praying the return of WMR tonight has SOMETHING changed. :(

[queenb74]

Mary… I’m not sure if they update on the weekend but I think someone on Facebook said they work on the weekend.. not sure though..

[straysoul]

I believe so. if filing joint check spouses too

[Maggie]

Kaitlyn
Your in the same as me filed and accepted the 20th trans same as yours I have been told it has to do with tax penalty for insurance. I have seen others say that if you have 16 date that you will have a ddd sometime next week. A lot of others received a letter of a review . I don’t think that’s the case. Did you have marketplace ins or a penalty?

[Keri]

Oh Im sorry for some reason it didnt finish my saying. Ive gotten a DD from KY state before in the past years, but this year isn’t doing anything. When I called them Friday they said none had been processed yet

[Anonymous]

Well I’m off to bed for now. WMR is down and so is the Refund Hotline. Here’s to hoping for a DDD in the morning!

[Anonymous]

I been entering it in for days

[Kaitlyn]

Waitinginwi
Thanks so much for your help, I truly appreciate it

[Anonymous]

@straysoul: If that number says “As of today, no nontax debt offset…” that means no offset outside of potential owing penalties to the IRS from previous years or something, right?

[Anonymous]

Well, I guess that somewhat answers my questions of when the best time to check for an update is. 5-10 minutes after each end-time for the days downtime.

[tswan20]

@mrkhiggi you can go to any bank and get a cash advance and take all the money off

[straysoul]

ussually if you have a 846 on transcript and a ddd then you are good. an offset may or may not delay you

[waitinginwi]

Oh no you have the zeros
I’m not much of a help there I seen people talking about it on Facebook I got my refund but don’t know much about it personally. Sorry I can’t help more! Hopefully it updates tonight for you!

[straysoul]

[Anonymous]

@waitinginwi @straysoul: I’m not crazy into the lingo and way it all works, but once your Refund Approved (DDD) shows, and the refund amount shows an amount doesn’t that mean everything is clear or can it still get pulled?

Secondly, be happy you have a DDD and such. Accepted on the 21st and still at 1 bar, can’t even get transcripts (online says info doesn’t match……..) and mail option doesn’t have either 2014 ‘scripts.

[waitinginwi]

Chances are its in the middle of updating, hopefully. I would say check at 12:01 am eastern time then again after 12:01 your time.

[Kaitlyn]

Maggie

I can’t see the top transcripts, I filed on the 20th and accepted on the 20th. I have all zeros on acct trans and no cycle date

[Anonymous]

@Keri I think you must be the only one! Nothing here, and I’ve always gotten it back within a week. Guess I’ll be calling Monday to find out wth they are doing!

[waitinginwi]

Just keep checking it’ll pop up if your entering it correctly eventually

[straysoul]

me and you both

[Kaitlyn]

Hi Waitinginwi

I do not have a cycle date… I don’t understand what’s going on. It has a date of Feb 16th on the right side but it also says no return filed.

[Anonymous]

I filed on 1/28 and also accepted on that date. But since then I cant check my status on where’s my refund… It keeps saying I’m entering the wrong info.

[waitinginwi]

I have my ddd would be nicer if it would just dd already so I can sleep normal again lol

[Maggie]

Kaitlyn when did you file do you have a ddd or any codes. Can you see the top 2 transcripts Do you have all zero’s on account trans? Or a cycle code

[Paige]

Good info, mrkhiggi. There’s always a catch. Always.

[waitinginwi]

My bad ddd of 02/03

[Ugh]

My understanding is that WMR will be down from 9PM – 12AM and then from 1AM – 7AM.

As for whether or not there will be DDDs involved, I don’t know. What I do know is that last year I got my DDD on a Sunday morning, so it’s certainly a possibility. It’s happened before.

[waitinginwi]

@Kaitlyn look at your cycle date then find it on here its in the account trans should be 8 digits mine is 20150404 ddd of 02/04

[straysoul]

i have heard it tells you if it has been applied never used it personally

[waitinginwi]

Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank byFebruary 3, 2015.

If your refund is not credited to your account by February 8, 2015, check with your bank to see if it has been received.

Please read the following information related to your tax situation:

Tax Topic 203, Refund Offsets for unpaid child support and certain federal, state, and unemployment compensation debts

Please Note:

Your refund may be reduced to pay a past due obligation such as child support, another federal agency debt, or state income tax. If this applies to you, the Financial Management Service, who issues IRS refunds, will send you a notice informing you of any offset they have made. The details of the debt are not provided to the IRS. Please do not call us to inquire about the details because we will not be able to answer your questions. Instead, direct any questions you have about the offset or debt to the agency identified on the notice.

So would the offset hotline even do anything?

[straysoul]

i meant to say first checked at this time of night

[straysoul]

800) 304-3107

[straysoul]

yes i ussually lock myself out during the day for too many attempts but since i first checked wmr it ussually lets me back however i called 20 minutes ago and the status hotline is down.

[waitinginwi]

Happen to have the number?

[Kaitlyn]

Hello Maggie

I claimed the eic and I have a date on my account transcript that says February 16th…. But I can view my other transcripts, do you know what that means?

[straysoul]

[waitinginwi]

@straysoul so your also locked out of wmr? I haven’t seen anything on sbbt so far myself. This whole locked out thing got me hopin.

[waitinginwi]

@straysoul but wouldn’t 203 show up on my transcript? I just checked them and their still the same the only debt I have that deals with the gov’t is the 41 dollars I owe state unemployment which has already been taken from state refund. Better not be double dippin. Lol

[shaad]

I got the same msg but there is no amount…. What could this mean?

[Maggie]

Marketplace ins. Or no ins. Did you claim eic for kids On your account transcript do you have a feb 16 date to the right side?

[straysoul]

[Anonymous]

20120603 with a refund date of 02- 20-2012

Does anyone know what that means ?

[sweatinmyrefund]

lets hope so but im hearing that it updates from 3 to 6am

[waitinginwi]

I keep seeing this but I’m still able to get in still 2nd bar but with tax topic 203 on bottom hoping that’s just a general 2nd bar deal but yeah still working fine here

[Alize]

thats the theory. Hope i update soon. :)

[sphya]

Tried logging in to WMR and it stated it is temporarily down and to try later… Does that mean it is updating our DDD Updates ?

[LOL!]

LOL at the “please be patient”

[Bagel]

I’m gonna copy/paste what I just wrote in another thread cause it’s super relevant here:

I gotta say, this is the 3rd year in a row where I see early filers (before 1/20 or so) who get shafted and end up waiting longer than most. Last year I was accepted and received my deposit all within about 7 days, yet there were people who filed way before me still waiting. That was the same scenario the year before that. I knew this year that I’d definitely be waiting until at least today to file, which is what I did. It sucks for the people who file early and think they’ll get their money first but unfortunately that’s not the case it seems.

My one word of advice is wait a couple weeks (end of Jan/beginning of Feb) to let them work out the kinks in the system before you fle, cause it’s pretty much a proven track record at this point that if you file early, you get the shaft.

[Anonymous]

MrsJackson and Elise, I’m surprised you haven’t received your direct deposit yet? It looks like everybody is receiving theirs in four business days.

I got my transcripts and codes 570 and 971 are listed. Filed with TT on 1/18 and accepted 1/20. Haven’t receieved a letter yet.. What do these codes mean?

[Anonymous]

Ms Jackson, I still have not received mine either. I was authorized 1/23 but my husband does have an offset. Do you have one also?

[Azsuperbowl]

Just found this:

The State of Arizona Department of Revenue just confirmed for me: They won’t be processing their state returns until January 31, 2015. So they figure 10-15 days after that is when to expect your refund if you selected direct deposit.

To get further clarification you can refer to: toll-free 1-800-352-4090 and follow the prompts: Press 1 for English OR press 2 for Spanish. Then press 0 to speak to the next available agent.

Hope this helps you further.

[Maggie]

Mtomsha. Did you have aca penalty or other on tax return. Were you able to see feb 16 on account transcript? Wage transcript blank and n/a for others.

[Anonymous]

I did the netspend thing before, they hit you up with a charge every time you swipe your card and limit how much you can spend per day, not worth it. I’ll stay with a normal bank, even if I have to wait a few extra days.

[Mary]

Do things happen on the weekends or am I doomed til Monday. For example, I can’t view transcripts now and I only have on bar on WMR. Could those update tonight or tomorrow or no?

[waitinginwi]

Check again after midnight don’t get scared yet it updates at random for transcripts

[mswall06]

@Keri
Lucky u! I haven’t gotten a thing from them
