Ok, so the IRS made a mistake that I'm afraid is going to cost me money and they don't seem to be able to help me. My tax form went into audit for some number discrepancies that I was able to fix later, after fixing the form with the IRS by phone they agreed to gave me a $50 return but then they sent me a letter telling me that they made a mistake and, quote "it appears that you were allowed a refund in error. The refund amount is $4,253 and appears to have been direct deposit. Please return the refund to the IRS." The problem is that that amount was never deposited, it was collected as part of a debt collection process by the department of treasury to pay my student loan that was in default (I know, I was very irresponsible about that). The problem is, after a series of calls neither the IRS, or the collection division knows if the money need to come back from the collection, the student loan company or my pocket. Anyone have any experience with a similar problem?
