Gobbling Your Refund


» From: Tomahawk

Dear TaxMama:

Who by law is allowed to take your refund if you have an outstanding bill?

Jodi
TaxMama Replies
Dear Jodi,

I can't quote you law. But I can tell you what the current practice is.

IRS will grab your refund if you owe:

  • Any federal taxes or other federal obligations
  • State taxes, some local taxes
  • Student Loans
  • Social Security
  • Child and/or spousal support
States will grab your refund if you owe:

  • Any federal taxes or other federal obligations
  • State taxes, some local taxes
  • Student Loans
  • Social Security
  • Child and/or spousal support
  • Auto registrations
  • Auto-related fines or penalties (parking, speeding, etc.)
That's the way life is these days.

Best wishes
