3 Weeks After IRS Offset: Still Waiting for Remaining Refund After Multiple 2021 Tax Debt Deductions

Filed my taxes last month and knew I had some back taxes they would take out. Got a notice saying they took what I owed but still waiting on the remaining refund amount. According to the notice I received, there were multiple credit transfers out to my 1040 from tax year 202112. Specifically, I can see: 826 Credit transferred out to 04-16-2023 1040 202112 826 Credit transferred out to 04-16-2023 1040 202112 826 Credit transferred out to 04-16-2023 1040 202112 826 Credit transferred out to 04-16-2023 1040 202112 971 Notice issued 08-02-2023 The notice is labeled "This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data" at the bottom. I understand they needed to offset my refund to cover those back taxes from 2021, but I'm still waiting for the remainder. It's been 3 weeks since these offsets happened according to the dates listed. Anyone know how much longer this usually takes? Starting to get worried since it's been 3 weeks since the offset and I was counting on the remaining portion of my refund.

Tax professional here. After an offset, the remaining refund typically processes within 2-3 weeks. However, if there are any other issues with your return, it could take longer. Have you checked your transcript for any codes?

That's good news then. You should see movement soon. Keep checking your transcript weekly.
