My refund was seized. Who do I contact?
Under state law, the Tax Commission may retain state income tax refunds to satisfy other outstanding tax debts. The Department of Health and Welfare, the Department of Labor, and the Supreme Court may seize all or part of your income tax refund to offset debts you may owe these agencies. Also, refunds may be seized to satisfy bankruptcy claims, sheriffs' garnishments, or debts owed to the Internal Revenue Service. Additionally, the Tax Commission may seize federal income tax refunds to offset Idaho income tax liabilities.
The agency or party seizing the refund is required to send you notice of the action. Questions regarding a refund seizure should be directed to the agency or party that initiated the claim for seizure.
