I spoke to the department of education on June 22nd because of what my ta said something about not even beginning to process till June 29th and the gentleman at the department of education said that that was inaccurate they are not garnishing taxes until September 30 so basically you won’t get garnished until next year’s taxes and they’re not…[Read more]

Then what is taking so LONG??? It seems it would go faster if they see that it is filed IS for student loans, they know just to “release” the refund. SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My taxes were put in the system on February 13th and I’m still waiting. I have a tax advocate in the congressman’s aid. I’ve had the tax out of control 3 weeks now. and what’s really ridiculous is it that processing in random order shouldn’t then go for the people that have been there the longest then also the one with the lower-income. On top of…[Read more]

Wow, Amanda I can’t believe you received half your stimulus, I filed April 15th with IS using TurboTax no stimulus, no tax return, I tried to call IRS but their automated voice basically said they’ve had too many calls so they aren’t taking any more. I can access my transcript but basically nothing has been touched since May 16th. What state is…[Read more]

It’s out of Indiana. I was shocked too. But now I’m like well they had to have it processed. I didnt file IS on my 2018 taxes so they had to have used 2019s IS form for the stimulus. Fingers crossed for you. This is some rough stuff! We are so far behind, both were laid off for 2 months, hes back to work but I am not. 6 kids. We are drowning.

The IRS is giving up to .5% in interest. By my calculations with what I received I got .49%. Basically take your expected refund amount and multiply it by 1.005 and it might give you an expected amount for your interest.

Thank you! Is that 0.5% or 5%? I was reading somewhere it was 5%

I read that same information however if it was “5%” I was shortened $302. It only comes to what I received when it is .5%.

What’s a 1444?

It’s the letter from the president that’s stated the amount we have were getting

Oh okay thanks

I faxed mine today and will let everyone know what happens. Fingers cross and prayers that this works! I think we all know that trusting them to reverse this without any prompting i.e. without this form, is not realistic, so I’m glad this could be an option!

@Private can you tell me what fax number you faxed your form to?

I meant form 3911

Following this bc I’d like to know too. I have a feeling they aren’t just going to reverse it on their own, and child support isn’t either.

Sorry to hear. I was fortunate enough to get my refund, tho I’m struggling now and any portion of the stimulus would be great right about now so I’m trying to get that figured out. I do hope they come through for you tho

@leeda thank you. Me too we are holding on by a thread.

@Ash any negative(-) signs on your transcript is a credit to your account think of it as a backwards documentation. Is there an 846 or 766 code appearing by the negative sign? This will be good news in your case!

Thats the thing, there actually ISN’T a negative sign….which I though was weird. There is a 840 code (refund issued) and then the 970 (hardship refund). Very confusing since theres no negative sign..

I looked through my transcripts. What date does those codes have? Since my Injured spouse was for Child support I never received a 970 code. Do you have a 971 or 570 code on your transcript?

The date for both was 6/24. And yes i have three 971 codes on the transcript lol

Wow 3 😮. Was your IS for student loans? Did you mail your IS form in? I hear that you will get ur full refund from DOE if it’s for student loan debt.

@angie I’m with you I feel your pain. I keep getting the run around too.

I ended up contacting my congressman then on June 19th contacted a Senator also. I then called IRS. They told me it was being worked on but could take 11 more weeks. I told that lady I was going to lose my house and car I needed my money. She was putting in something for my TA. Following Monday my TA called me said that everything was completed he…[Read more]

I filed Jan 29 electronically with IS still nothing Congressman nor TA has helped every time I speak with someone at the IRS it is a different story.

Money for refund or stimulus? You won’t get tax refund back for child support offset. The stimulus will most likely get given back through next years taxes. They haven’t figured any out yet.

I filed IS electronically with my taxes on 02/04, so I know I’ll get it back, all the agents have given me different answers regarding timeline. I just wanted to see if people have started seeing their portion come back to them.

CS offset. Received tax refund 6/24.

@heather7985 thanks for replying. that gives me hope. did it get deposited into your bank account or did you receive a check?
