If I owe the irs money from 2022 , will I still get a federal and state refund or just a state refund? Will they take my entire federal refund even tho I only owe $300 ?

Additionally it says my federal refund was supposed to be $1850 but I owe $315… so will they just take the $315 and I get the rest or they will take my entire federal refund and I’ll only get the state.

If you owe the IRS for back taxes or have other debts, the IRS will seized your federal tax refund and apply that amount to the debt you owe. If there is a remainder after the debt is paid the IRS will send you the remainder of the refund.

The IRS will take what you owe and send the rest to you via the delivery method you choose. Of course, your total might include interest.

And be aware that the IRS can also take your state tax refund to pay back federal taxes that you owe..
