<prompt> Human: If this is the wrong sub, I apologize in advance.This year was the first time I filed taxes and to my surprise, when I checked how much I received from my federal return, I saw a whopping 7 dollars and some cent. I originally thought it was some error with TurboTax or the company that distributed my money, but both places assured me it was nothing that happened on their end.Today I got a letter in the mail telling me that my refund had been offset and paid to DFAS Defense Finance Accounting Service. Now heres the part where some of you may think Im stupid. Despite being 21, Ive never bothered to check my credit report because a I dont have any credit cards, and b Ive only been working for less than a year. So immediately, I got a copy of my credit report that shows that theres an account that was opened in May of 2012 and closed in July 2012. I was still in high school at that point, yet the account type is Government Overpayment. If what Ive seen is correct, DFAS is mainly military related and I have no ties to the military besides signing up for the selective service to vote. The letter says that Ive been notified via mail about the debt but its completely possible that my family threw it awaylost it since I havent lived at home since August 2012. My mom usually gives me a stack of mail when I go home so I dont believe she would voluntarily throw that away, unless they have a false address. I cant call DFAS until Monday morning, but Im just wondering if anyone here might have a clue whats going on.  <response>: Contacting the DFAS is also a good idea. In addition, the IRS has a taxpayer helpline. 800-829-1040
