Will Child Support Arrears ($500-700) Affect My Tax Advance?
I'm trying to figure out if being behind on child support will mess up my tax advance. Only behind a few payments, probably around $100-700 total. Anyone know if this small amount will trigger an offset?

Yes, ANY amount of back child support will trigger an offset. The Treasury Offset Program doesn't have a minimum threshold - if you owe, they'll take it. Your refund will be intercepted to pay what you owe first.

Hey! I was in the same boat last year. The best way to actually understand your situation is to use taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what offsets might hit your refund. It costs $1 but saved me so much headache. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

100% works. It shows all possible offsets and even estimates your actual refund amount after deductions

try calling the Treasury Offset Program directly at 800-304-3107. You can get exact amounts of any offsets

Get caught up ASAP! Even if you make arrangements before filing, it might help avoid the offset
