When to expect your refund

What may change
Your refund amount may be reduced to pay a past due debt, such as child support or a federal or state debt. If this happens, you'll get a notice from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS), which issues IRS refunds. The notice will provide the debt amount and the BFS contact information. The details of the debt offset aren't provided to the IRS.
