Frequently Asked Questions

As soon as you start to think about your business, an accountant can help you take the next steps. We can discuss your business's organization, tax purposes and operations, along with target pricing and profit margins.  

Get some impartial advice from an accountant before you consult the bank. A bank will want to see a strong business plan and organized records. Let us help you get ready for your business's next step!  

Does your accountant return your calls? Do you feel comfortable asking them a question? Do you feel heard? With the right accountant, the answers should be a resounding "Yes!"

The Bureau of Fiscal Services will send you a notice if there’s a refund offset. The offset notice will show:

• Original refund amount
• Your refund offset amount
• Agency receiving the payment
• Address and telephone number of the agency

If you don’t get a notice, you’ll need to call:

• Bureau of Fiscal Services at 1-855-908-0511

Contact the agency listed on the notice if:

• You believe you don’t owe the debt.
• You’re disputing the amount of money that has been taken from your refund.

Contact the IRS only if your original refund on the debt offset notice differs from the refund amount on your return.
