Best Answer

Yes, you would however have to discuss this with your financial adviser.

You may be eligible for a tax refund but if your case has been reported to Child Support Enforcement in your state your tax refund may be confiscated to pay toward your arrears. It will go toward the support of your children.

Do you I get my taxes take away for my wife's owing child support if I claim her as a dependent?

You would file a joint return with your wife--she is not a dependent. Child support arrears would likely be subtracted from your joint tax return. If you filed a joint return and you're not responsible for the debt, you are entitled to a portion of the refund. You may request your portion of the refund by filing Form 8379 (PDF), Injured Spouse Allocation.You should obtain information from a licensed tax preparer.
