What does this mean? Does it mean I’ll be getting the 5,300.70 back as a separate payment or did they take it?  806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2026 -$67.00 766 Credit to your account 04-15-2026 -$5,022.00 768 Earned income credit 04-15-2026 -$4,507.00 846 Refund issued 03-09-2026 $9,435.00 898 Refund applied to non-IRS debt: $5,300.70 03-09-2026 $0.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data

Based on your transcript, it looks like you had a refund of $9,435 issued on 03-09-2026 (code 846), but then $5,300.70 of that refund was applied to a non-IRS debt on the same date (code 898). This means you would have received the remaining amount ($9,435 - $5,300.70 = $4,134.30) as your actual refund payment. The $5,300.70 went directly to pay off a debt you had with another agency (like student loans, child support, or other federal/state debts). You won't receive that $5,300.70 as a separate payment since it was used to satisfy the outstanding debt. If you weren't expecting this offset, you should have received a notice explaining what debt was paid.

@Tyrone Johnson the only debt i owed was $156 to child support so I’m confused as to why they decided they were gonna take $5.3k i already called the offset line so this doesn’t make sense to me
