Question by hollywoodjeff11: Where’s My Refund “Tax Topic 203″? does eveyone’s status say this?

So it says my refund was sent on March 7th, but underneath it, it also says this,….

Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 203 – Failure to Pay Child Support, Federal Non-Tax and State Income Tax Obligations
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…

does everyones status say this as a warning?, cuz the only debts i have is on my gas credit card($ 125)….does that count? or are they talking about loans and stuff like that.

That’s a boiler plate warning that everyone sees. And no, your refund cannot be offset for a credit card debt.

Although the IRS can’t tell you anything about the particulars of an offset you can get that from the FMS autoresponder at 1-800-304-3107.
