Tax Offset Question - Will IRS take from both State and Federal refunds for state tax debt?

The Treasury Offset Program (TOP) primarily takes federal refunds to pay state debts. Your state refund generally won't be touched by TOP, but your state may have its own offset program. They'll take what you owe from your federal first, and if there's still debt left, then your state might collect from your state refund. What state are you in? Different states handle this differently.

Hey instead of guessing, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly how much will be offset and from where. Its only $1 and WAY more accurate than asking reddit lol https://taxr.ai

The IRS and state tax agencies are like that spiderman meme pointing at each other 🤣 but fr they usually just take federal
