The FMS number is 1-800-304-3107 to check on outstanding liabilities
other than back IRS taxes

IRS records show only whether an unpaid debt has been reported; kind of like
a true/false indicator. They don't know the amount. If IRS records show an
outstanding debt and the debtor wants to know the amount, he or she must
contact the Financial Management Service (FMS) at 1–800–304–3107. I don't
remember FMS' hours but their line is answered in Austin, TX.

As for checking with IRS, you can either call them at the toll-free number
posted in the previous response or you can visit your local IRS walk-in
office. If you go to the walk-in office, make sure you take picture ID such
as a driver's license.

http://www.irs.gov/localcontacts/index.html

Ask IRS to check the debt indicator on their INOLES file. I = IRS debt; F
= Federal debt (such as child support); B = Both; N = No debt.

No, you call Financial Management Service (FMS) as they are the one's
that hold on child support, alimony, student loans, etc. IRS only
does on taxes. Don't have FMS # at home, but will post Monday evening.

Call them at 1-800-829-1040 and ask, nicely, realizing that if you just paid
it off last week it's unlikely that the freeze cancellation has made its way
through the pipeline by now.

If you do find it's still in effect, remember that the IRS didn't initiate
the process, and they can't reverse it. For that you need to go to state
child support enforcement.

Default Child Supp Collection

How does one find out if the taking of a refund for child support in arrears
has been discontinued by IRS . In other words, the back support has been
fully paid, thus no need for IRS to keep the refund due.

tks all
