Asked 10/22/2011

30 years of IRS tax refund garnishment for a student loan in default from the early 80s. the

80s The Dept of Education has record of only 411.00 dollars paid towards the debt and that was my tax return from 2004. They tell me to contact the IRS. I call the number for the IRS on the letter I receive every year which gets me to recordings and eventually to a prompt that will tell me when I should receive my tax return which does me no good because I never get one. I never get to talk to a real person. My question is where did the money from all my tax returns go over the years if Dept of Education was not paid towards the student loan? How do I get an itemized receipt of the money taken from me and where it went? I owe no back taxes, child support ect.. The student loan mentioned is the only debt I have. Am I entitled to recover my money? Im confused any help or suggestions? Thanks!

You don't want to talk to the IRS, you want to talk to the FMS. The Financial Management Service is the branch of the IRS that handles back debt. This may be the phone number you've already tried -- 800-304-3107.

Since I don't know what your debt was, or how much each year's refund may have been, I can't say if thirty years would be enough to pay off the debt plus the accumulated interest. It's a bit strange that the debtholder has no record of the payments. You can also contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service at 877-777-4778. If that doesn't bring any help, write to your representative(s) in Congress. It's amazing what a Congressman's office can make happen.
