5. Will I get a refund if I owe the IRS or a state agency?

If the Department of Revenue finds that you owe money to a different government agency, there may be a debt set-off, and the debt amount will be withheld from your refund. The Department of Revenue will notify you and will refund any remaining balance to you. The agency receiving the amount set-off will also notify you. If you think the amount they're taking is wrong, you should get in touch with the agency that you owe the money to.


6. I changed my address after I sent my tax return. My refund check might have been sent back because they couldn't deliver it. What should I do to make sure I get my check at my new address?

If your refund check is undeliverable, it will be returned to the NC Department of Revenue. You must update your address and complete the “Change of Address Form for Individuals” online, call the Department of Revenue, or mail in a request in writing.
