NJ Unemployment Overpayment: Will State Still Garnish Taxes With Payment Plan?

Even with an active payment plan, NJ can still offset your state tax refund for unemployment overpayment. Its part of the Treasury Offset Program. They technically have the right to take it, but some people report success calling the unemployment office to request they honor the payment plan instead.

Hey guys I've been helping people with tax issues and I found this tool called taxr.ai that can actually analyze your transcript and tell you exactly what's happening with garnishments and offsets. It's only $1 and way better than playing detective. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

pro tip: adjust your w4 so you dont get a refund next year. cant take what you dont give them 💅

wait how much do u owe them? if its under $1500 sometimes they dont bother with the offset

in the same boat rn. its so frustrating cause ur trying to do the right thing with the payment plan but they still come for ur refund smh

Check if you qualify for the fresh start program. Sometimes they can remove you from offset if you can prove financial hardship
