Attention Starr Software Services & Starr Pro Tax Services Starr Software Tax Solutions🩷💻🖱️
Once your tax return has been officially accepted and submitted to the IRS, it is completely out of our hands. We do not control, monitor, or have access to any debts, offsets, or adjustments made after submission. That process is handled directly by federal and state agencies.
If you receive IRS Code 898, it means your refund was applied to a non-IRS debt. This could include past-due federal or state taxes, student loans, child support, or other qualifying government debts.
Please understand we cannot see where the funds were sent or which agency received them. We are only notified that part or all of the refund was offset.
For specific details about your offset, you will need to contact the appropriate agency directly.
📞 Bureau of the Fiscal Service Offset Hotline: 800-304-3107
We appreciate your understanding and thank you for trusting Starr. 🩷💻🖱️
