Make sure to file your taxes early if you know youre getting offset. The sooner you file the sooner youll get whatevers left after the offset

protip: if ur offset is for student loans, try getting on an income based repayment plan first. Sometimes they'll stop the offset if u do
THIS!!!! worked for me last year!

honestly paper amendments are the worst rn. taking like 20 weeks to process. id try to do it electronically if u can figure out which software u used
Anyone know if you can amend through a different company than what you originally filed with?
yep you can! just need ur AGI from original return

I had the same issue last month. Turns out mine was an adjustment in my favor but took forever to figure that out.
how long did it take to get your money after seeing the 291?
2M
about 3 weeks after the 291 showed up
2M
Been dealing with the IRS for 20+ years as a tax preparer. A 291 is just an adjustment code - could be either direction. You need to look at the whole transcript to understand the context. Check if there's a 846 code following it (that's the refund code).
thx for explaining! no 846 yet but fingers crossed ๐ค

fr fr this right here is the real advice ๐ฏ

Maybe talk to a tax attorney? This seems like something that could get messy real quick
worth every penny to consult one. cheaper than fixing problems later
2M
Took me 13 months to get mine last year. Keep checking your transcript for updates and dont give up!
13 months?! I cant wait that long ๐ญ

Did you claim EIC or CTC? Those usually take way longer to process
Yeah claimed both... wish I knew that before filing smh
