So your income tax fund check will be applied to your default student loans.

There are only 2 ways to get out of default on your Federally Guaranteed student loans.
- Contact your collection company or student loan servicer and request to enter the rehabilitation program. Most people qualify, but I have seen some refused when the default is over 10 years old. In the rehabilitation program, you will need to make 9-12 on-time payments in addition to your garnishment. After the 9-12 on-time payments, they should stop the garnishment, but you will stay in a default status until your Rehabed loans are sold to a new lender. In the past, that was an easy process, but in these turbulent financial times, other lenders are not buying rehabed loans. So, with this option your loans will stay in a Default status for the forseeable future.
- The second way you can get out of default and have your garnishment lifted is to consolidate your loans. These days very few Federal lenders will consolidate defaulted loans and your lender will probably not release the loan for consolidation while in a garnishment stage. The good news is, there are a few companies out there that will help you get a garnishment lifted and find a Federal lender to consolidate the loans. One good example is Default Management Services, Inc. They are the cheapest I have seen and give a 100% money back guarantee on their services. You can Google the company name to get the phone #.

Yes, a tax return can be garnished, as it is your income and has the same restrictions as any other form (barring taxes, since it has already been taxed).

Can Sallie Mae garnish your new husband's wages or taxes on two student loans that you cosigned with your ex-husband - which are now in default?
I have 7 years experience in Defaulted student loans and can not definitively answer this question. My professional opinion is no, but I suggest you call the Dept. of Ed. at 1-800-4Fed-Aid. If they can't give you a definitive answer, then contact the Dept. of Ed. Ohmbudsman's office. If you want your name off of the defaulted student loans, have your ex-husband consolidate the defaulted loans in only his name. You will then be off the hook. It is tough to get defaulted student loans consolidated through a new federal lender these days. One company that I'm sure can help is Default Management Services, Inc. They are the cheapest I have seen and give a 100% money back guarantee on their services. You can Google the company name to get the phone #. Ask for Doug.
