Michigan State Refund Garnishment Question - Conflicting Info from Reps About Partial vs Full Take
My Michigan state refund is being held and im confused about the garnishment amount. Called twice and both reps said only a portion would be taken, but online it looks like the whole refund is gone. Shouldnt I be able to see the remaining amount after garnishment?

Tax resolution specialist here - State garnishments can be tricky. Michigan typically shows the full amount as held until the garnishment is processed. Once processed, they'll release any remaining balance. This usually takes 2-4 weeks. You can request a detailed breakdown of the garnishment by submitting Form 3385 to Michigan Treasury.

Usually 14-21 business days from when they first place the hold. But heads up - holiday season might slow things down 🐌

Hey guys instead of playing detective with garnishments and offset amounts, I started using taxr.ai - its only $1 and gives you a complete breakdown of whats happening with your refund and estimates. Way better than trying to piece together info from different reps https://taxr.ai
