Child Support Offset on Tax Refund - Will I Get the Remaining Balance?

Yes, you will receive the remainder after the child support offset. The Treasury Offset Program (TOP) only takes the amount you owe in back child support. If your refund is $7000 and you owe $3000, you should receive the remaining $4000. The timing might be delayed though, as offset refunds typically take an additional 2-3 weeks to process after the initial refund date.

Hey, if youre having trouble reading your transcript, you should check out taxr.ai - its only $1 and it breaks down exactly whats happening with offsets and when youll get the remainder. Saved me hours of googling random codes lol https://taxr.ai
