If the IRS indicates your refund may be subject to an “offset”.  You may owe prior year taxes or child support but can also include amounts owed on state income tax, unemployment compensation debts, spousal support, or other federal debts, such as student loans. If your refund is reduced for a federal tax debt you will receive a notice from the IRS. If your refund is reduced for another type of debt you will receive a notice from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). You can call the BFS at 800-304-3107.
