If the person filing a joint return with a debtor who owes a past-due, legally enforceable State income tax obligation takes appropriate action to secure his or her proper share of a tax refund from which an offset was made, the IRS will pay the person his or her share of the refund and request that TOP deduct that amount from future amounts payable to the State or that TOP otherwise obtain the funds back from the State. TOP, or the appropriate State, will adjust their debtor records accordingly.
