Sometimes the <strong>tax refund<\/strong> does not arrive as soon as they expect it because there are some issues the <strong>Internal Revenue Service<\/strong> needs to revise.<\/p>\n<p>Or what could be worse, it may arrive on time but you see that it has been reduced. For your information, the <strong>Department of Treasury&#8217;s<\/strong> Bureau of the Fiscal Service issues IRS tax refunds. What is more, Congress also allows the <strong>BFS<\/strong> to carry out the <strong>Treasury Offset Program<\/strong>. It is through this program that BFS may reduce your tax refund amount and offset it to pay these 4 things.<\/p>\n<h2>4 reasons why you may see your IRS tax refund reduced<\/h2>\n<p>In the first place, the Internal Revenue Service claims that there are<strong> 4 reasons<\/strong> why you may see your<strong> 2024 tax refund<\/strong> reduced:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>State income tax obligations<\/li>\n<li>Federal agency nontax debts<\/li>\n<li>past-due child support<\/li>\n<li>certain unemployment compensation debts owed to a state (fraud)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, you can always contact the <strong>Agency<\/strong> with which you have a debt to find out if it was submitted for a tax refund offset. But how will you receive the reduced amount tax refund?<\/p>\n<h2>IRS reduced tax refund<\/h2>\n<p>The Internal Revenue Service claims that any portion of your remaining <strong>2024 tax refund<\/strong> after offset is sent in a <strong>direct deposit or check<\/strong>. Of course, it will depend on the way you requested on your 2024 tax return.<\/p>\n<p>Many taxpayers wonder if they can receive a tax refund if they are currently making payments under an <strong>installment agreement.<\/strong> Or another <strong>IRS<\/strong> payment plan for a different federal tax season.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact, you cannot receive is tax refund if you are in that situation. In case you did not know it, the<strong> IRS will automatically apply any refund due<\/strong> to you against taxes you owe. It is one of the conditions of installment agreements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experts advise taxpayers not to rely on the money they expect from the IRS.
