Welcome to the Utah Association of Counties TRECS's secure web portal for debt offset.

This portal enables Utah local governments to upload their debt data files to the UTRECS clearinghouse for potential offsets against the debtor’s personal state income tax refund through the Utah Division of Finance. Other features allow local governments to download refund payment files and other reports and to update local agency contact information for debtor inquiry.

Participating local governments must have executed the UTRECS Memorandum of Understanding and submitted the registration form before uploading debt files. For more information, please visit the UTRECS website and contact UTRECS Program Administrator Zeke Lee.


Debt File Requirements:

Agency debt data files must conform to the UTRECS debt offset file layout standards. All column names must be included in the file in the correct order, even if no corresponding data exist. Columns designated R (Required) must include the corresponding data. The file layout provides the data definition and its required format.


Debt Refresh Requirements:

Agencies should refresh their files at least weekly to reflect new debts or changes in debts by resubmitting the initial debt file in its entirety. Debt amounts should be reduced to reflect any debtor payments. Full repayments should reset the debt amount to $0—do not delete the debtor row. All rows remain in place until the end of the calendar year.


Debt Removal Requirements:

If an agency no longer wants to pursue a specific debt through offset, the agency should denote this by entering an “X” in the last column labeled “Exemption from Collection Fee”. Do not delete the debtor row. If a debtor has paid the fee in full and no longer needs to be pursued through offset, the agency should reduce the debt o $0 and leave the last column labeled “Exemption from Collection Fee” blank.
