The Debt Setoff (DSO) Program enables courts and agencies to intercept Arizona state income tax refunds or Arizona Lottery winnings for defendants who owe debt to the courts or other government agencies.

If you received a letter/notice from the Arizona Department of Revenue, it will provide the name and phone number of the state court or agency that has submitted a claim against your state tax refund. If the letter/notice lists the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), you will need to call the DSO Interactive Voice Response (IVR) line, which is available in English and in Spanish, to obtain the DSO participant(s) name and phone number(s). If you live within Maricopa County, you can call (602) 452-3210. If you live outside of Maricopa County call (877) 435-3829. The caller will be required to enter their SSN, follow the prompts when instructed and listen to the entire message in the event more than one court or agency has entered a claim. If no results were found, enter the spouse’s SSN. If there are still no results, leave a message. Messages are returned within 24 business hours.

The AOC does not have information regarding the reason for the claim and is not the court of record for your case.

FARE stands for Fines/Fees And Restitution Enforcement Program. It is a statewide initiative of the Arizona Judicial branch. The focus is to assist Arizona courts with the compliance of monetary court orders. Courts are given the ability to assign outstanding debt associated to civil traffic, criminal traffic and criminal violations with a collections vendor. The program is a public/private partnership between the Administrative Office of the Courts, the Motor Vehicle Division, Arizona Department of Revenue and a private vendor.

There are several payment methods available. You can contact the court for specific information. Most court cases can be paid in person at the court (cash, debit/credit card, money order), through the mail (money order, check), website (either the court's website or www.azcourtpay.com) or by cash at a participating retailer (visit www.azcourtpay.com for more information).
