I need my money back it was incorrectly intercepted by a student loan that was not mine . I have a police report that states it .

Hi. I would start by calling both the tax authority (Franchise Tax Board maybe) and the agency (Student Loan) that are the center of this issue. If it is a FTB mistake, they may be able to return the funds intercepted.
My app got rejected by the stimulus program because my Dad use me for 2018 and I won't be dependent for 2019, But does he need to file 2019 without as a me as a dependant, in order for me to qualify for new stimulus?

Hi. You can file 2019 tax return not as anyone's dependent assuming your father did not already file with you as a dependent. You "should" be able to get the stimulus if you meet the qualifications. If you are willing, you can also include your bank account information on the return... View More

They wrongly linked her to someone else whom used her SS#. Isn't there a statute of limitations for this levy?
answered on Oct 8, 2019
Hi. There is the 20-year SOL, but you may have a better way of approaching this matter. If the collection was on an incorrect use of her SSN (Identity Theft), there are ways to prove this to be true and possibly get the money returned.
