Be aware that if you have unpaid federal or state debt, such as overdue
child support, state income tax, or student loans, all or part of your 2016
income tax return may be redirected to pay the debt. This is called the offset
program. If an offset occurs with your tax return, the Treasury Department's
Bureau of Fiscal Service will send you a notice. The notice will list the
original refund and offset amounts, as well as the name and contact information
of the agency that received the payment. If you have questions, contact our
office at (518) 798-3330.
