It is unlikely that a tax refund would be garnished for past due medical bills. Generally refunds can only be garnished for certain things, and medical bills really aren't one.

What happens when your income tax refund is garnished for debt?

So you were expecting a tax refund from the IRS after you filed a tax return. Insteasd of getting your refund, the IRS sent you a letter saying that your refund was used (garnished) to satisfy your back tax debt. What is going on? This means that you have a back tax liablility with the IRS and the IRS will take your refund to satidfy that debt. If you got your refund check garnished and you were unaware you owed the IRS, you need to take care of this situation fast. The IRS can start enforced collections against you and go as far as garnishment of your pay and levy your bank accounts. You can find out more at wallysworldoftaxes.blogspot.com.

Can your tax refund be garnished if federal loan not in default?

Generally garnishment occurs only in cases where a loan or other debt is, or has been, in default. (Although I've heard of cases where parents volunteered to have child support garnished so they didn't have to worry about missing a payment.) There are only a few types of debt that can be legally garnished: alimony and/or child support, student loans, and deliquent federal taxes. The payment terms of your loan should be clearly defined and specifically include the amount and date the payments are due. Garnishing your refund while your account was current would be demanding payment before it was due. If you are not currently in default and have never been, then there is no reason to assume your tax refund would be garnished. However, if you've previously been in default and not brought the loan completely current, they might garnish the portion still in arrears.

There is a judgment agenst you and your ex husband you have no money coming in except child support from your exhusband can they take your child support and also would they take his money b4 mine?

Child support is not subject to garnishments. If your ex husband has a job, they will garnish his wages and can also garnish a tax refund check from the state or federal government. If you do not pay your half of the debt, and your ex is garnished for your portion as well as his, he can counter sue you for the portion that is your responsibility. A judge can change your child support order, and make it not payable until the garnishment is satisfied. Sounds like you need a job, and need to pay your bills.


They just recently took my tax refund from me due to i owe back child support but i pay monthly and havent missed a payment. wondering why they did that?

You need to contact the agency that seized you refund. In most states, this is called child support enforcement or something similar. You need to review your account and confirm that there are no mistakes in their records. If they've gone far enough to seize a tax refund, it is likely that your driver's license may also be suspended, and/or your wages could be garnished.
