IRS Transcript Offset Line Not Showing Recent 2024 Treasury Offsets - When Does it Update?
My transcript shows I'm getting an offset but the offset line only shows stuff from February 2024. Nothing showing up for this years offsets yet. Does anyone know when they update that line? Starting to get worried because I know theres supposed to be more offsets but I can't see them.

The offset line in your transcript typically updates within 2-3 weeks of when the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) processes the offset. However, there can be a delay between when an offset is authorized and when it actually shows on your transcript. Your best bet is to call the TOP hotline at 800-304-3107 to get the most current offset information.

hey guys instead of playing detective with transcripts I started using taxr.ai and it's actually insane how much better it is than trying to piece everything together ourselves. Its only $1 and tells you exactly whats happening with offsets and everything else. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

did you try checking your account transcript instead of return transcript? sometimes offset info shows up there first

Same issue here! My transcript is showing offsets from early 2024 but I know there should be more recent ones. The delay is so frustrating when you're trying to figure out your refund situation. Has anyone found that calling the IRS directly helps, or do they just tell you to wait for the transcript to update?

•From my experience calling the IRS directly about offsets is hit or miss - sometimes they have updated info but a lot of times they just tell you the same thing you can see on your transcript. The TOP hotline that Paolo mentioned earlier (800-304-3107) is usually way more helpful for offset-specific questions since that's literally what they handle. They can tell you exactly what's been processed even if it hasn't shown up on your transcript yet!

I had the exact same problem last month! My transcript was showing old offsets but missing recent ones. What I found out is that there's actually a separate system for tracking offsets that updates faster than the regular IRS transcripts. You can also try calling the Bureau of the Fiscal Service at 888-826-3127 - they handle Treasury offsets and sometimes have more current info than what shows on your IRS account. Also worth checking if you have any state tax debts or child support issues since those can create offsets that take longer to show up on the federal transcript.
