Tenth Collection Report for Tax Offset

DC-9362

December 6, 1993

TO ALL STATE IV-D DIRECTORS

RE: Tenth Collection Report for Tax Offset

Dear Colleague:

We are pleased to forward to you the tenth collection report for the 1993 Federal Tax Refund Offset Program. Enclosed is the collection report representing the tax refund offsets for the month of November 1993 minus the service fee and any adjustments made during this period for the 1988 through 1993 processing years. The electronic funds transfer should be accomplished on December 7, 1993. The net collection total for November for 7,167 offsets is $4,213,356. The year-to-date total for processing year 1993 is $617,305,646 for 939,256 offsets as compared to $640,370,306 for 982,975 offsets for processing year 1992. Enclosed where appropriate is a copy of the November 1993 Collection/Adjustment/ Address Report and the corresponding name change report.

We would also like to inform you that the IRS is projecting an

report in February 1994. The increase in the fee can be attributed to an increase in the IRS cost to administer the program. To be more specific, the IRS apparently has not been charging the States to process Form 8379, Injured Spouse Claim, and therefore will be passing this service center expense on to the States. There are also other service center costs and revenue agent expenses involved in the increase. We are attempting to negotiate a lower fee amount with the IRS, but if we are unsuccessful you should plan on the IRS increase to $8.35. Please inform the appropriate program people of this change.

If you have any questions pertaining to the tax offset program or the proposed IRS fee increase, please feel free to contact the Special Collections Unit at (202) 401-9389.

Sincerely,

Robert C. Harris
