Collection of Debts from Your Refund
The Department will keep all or part of your overpayment if you owe other taxes to the Department. We will apply that amount to the liability.
The law also requires the Department to transfer all or part of your overpayment if you owe money for past-due child support, educational assistance loans, unemployment compensation, medical support, public assistance or food stamp overpayments, fines, fees and costs owed to district, municipal, magistrate or metropolitan courts, or worker's compensation fees.
Any amount over your liability and debt will be refunded to you.
If you receive notification that all or part of your refund was transferred to one of these agencies and you wish to protest that action, contact that agency at the address listed below. If your refund was transferred to a claimant agency in error, that agency must correct the error and issue your refund.
