Can the Office of Recovery Services--ORS-- take your Federal take refund?

Yes, the Office of Recovery Services (ORS) can take your federal tax refund to satisfy outstanding child support or other debts owed to the state. This process typically involves the federal tax refund being intercepted through a program called the Federal Tax Refund Offset Program. If you have a delinquent balance, the ORS may notify the IRS to redirect your refund to cover the owed amount. It's advisable to check with ORS for specific details related to your situation.
