If you mean IRS money owed to you, they will first take that money, called a refund and then look for the balance. Yes, they can and they will. They will attach any IRS refunds you have coming to you. It may not happen the following year, but eventually it will be deducted, with interest.
The government can offset refunds by what it is owed...(the money would go to the student loan program).
You will receive refunds from the IRS if you are due the money. You may have to enlist a tax attorney to be a middle man and help you.

If federal income or other taxes are listed as debts to be discharged, the IRS may send a representative to the 341 meeting to question the debtor about the listings, or if the debtor does not list debts owed to the IRS, a representative may be sent o ask the debtor about the omissions. Tax debts must be listed even if the debtor has a payment agreement with the IRS. The bankruptcy court will send a notice of the bankruptcy filing to the IRS and state DOR even if the debtor has not listed any debt owed to them.
