I recently paid off my child support arrears, fees, and interest. The payment sat in unapplied for 14 days even though they states it takes 72 hours. During that time i filed my taxes and my federal was intercepted. A rep stated there will be a 90 day hold per law on the taxes. I now owe no money and they show another unapplied payment of 250.00 from my wage garnishment (overpayment will most likely be refunded to me). Now is there anything i can do to speed up the process and release the hold on the federal taxes. My stimulus check that has not been allocated also has a hold on it, is there anything I can do about that?

Who can I contact?

the state is Arizona

I wish I could answer that, my husband is in a similar situation. All you can do is to contact the CSE that intercepted. They should be able to tell you what you need to do to have the intercept refunded to you.

I still can not find answers no matter who I call, I guess its time to grin and bear it. They do not show the taxes being intercepted but the irs states they sent it to the state. Now having dealt with DES for the last 15 years I know that I just should suck it up and wait as usual.
