Subject: Connecticut Sample Letter for Requesting IRS not to Offset against Tax Refund Dear [IRS Representative's Name], I am writing this letter to request your assistance regarding an upcoming tax refund and to kindly ask the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) not to offset or withhold any portion of my expected refund. I am a resident taxpayer in the state of Connecticut and need this refund to fulfill my financial obligations. As per the guidelines outlined by the IRS, taxpayers who owe outstanding debts are subject to refund offsets. However, I kindly request your consideration for an exception in my case due to the unique circumstances I am currently facing. [Option 1: Connecticut Unemployment Overpayment] One potential situation may involve a Connecticut Unemployment Overpayment. I understand that if I have an outstanding debt due to an overpayment of unemployment benefits, the IRS may choose to offset my refund against this debt. However, I am currently in the process of resolving this overpayment issue with the Connecticut Department of Labor, and I kindly request that the IRS refrain from offsetting my tax refund until this matter is fully resolved. [Option 2: Connecticut State Tax Debt] Another scenario might involve a Connecticut State Tax Debt. While I acknowledge my outstanding obligations to the state of Connecticut, I have established a payment plan with the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services to repay this debt. Therefore, I kindly request that the IRS grants me an exception and refrains from offsetting my tax refund, allowing me to adhere to the agreed-upon payment schedule with the state. In both situations, it is crucial for me to receive my tax refund in full to meet my financial responsibilities, sustain my household expenses, and allocate funds towards the repayment of my outstanding debts. I strongly believe that by allowing me to utilize this refund efficiently, I will be able to manage my financial situation responsibly, thus ensuring compliance with all financial obligations while preventing any further burdensome circumstances. I kindly request you to review my case and kindly grant my appeal for the IRS not to offset my tax refund against any outstanding debts mentioned above. Furthermore, I am willing to provide any necessary supporting documentation or information that may assist in this matter. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] if additional information is required or if there is any further documentation needed from my end. I appreciate your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a positive resolution. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Full Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code]
