I filed, and was supposed to get $289 back, but when it got deposited in my account, it's only $9, and now that I think about it, I think I owe my old college money. Is this something they would do to get the money I owe them?

Government debts can result in both Federal and State tax refunds being captured. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to consider an unpaid tuition bill from a state school to be a government debt.

Maybe they found an error in the way you completed your taxes. This happened to me once and I ended up getting back less than I had thought I would originally. After that I always take my taxes to a professional to complete because I feel that they know more about the tax laws than I have the interest or time to devote to. I may be old fashioned, but I feel having your taxes prepared by a professional is the best way to go. I am happy to pay for the extra expense because these professional have helped me to get back more money than when I prepared my taxes on my own.

not from the fed if the collection agency gets a court order your state taxes will probably be offset
