Yes. (Although in fairness, it isn't the IRS taking it, it is the IRS can be instructed to give it to the government agency you owe).
They can and once the system has you pegged will. Its actually the Feds that normally insured or guaranteed your loan and get the payment from whoever has it.
Generally your Federal Income tax refund can be taken to pay any past taxes due, unpaid student loans, unpaid and delinquent child support due, and most any amount due to a federal or state agency. It is far more unlikely for the refund to be attached for normal credit balanced due if not due to a government agency though it has been done.
No. The IRS will take an income tax refund for back federal or state taxes, unpaid child support or alimony, student loans in default, and any unpaid federal or government debt.
No, only the state or federal government and affiliated agency's (like banks holding unpaid student loans) can seize your tax refund. If you put that refund in a bank then it is fair game at that point.
If your Federally Guaranteed student loans are in a Default status then the collection agency will place your name on the Tax offset list. Once on this list, you will not receive a tax refund check, instead it will be credited to your student loan balance. If you need help getting out of default, or getting a garnishment lifted, then contact Default Management Services, Inc. for help. You can Google the name for a phone #. Ask for Doug, he is knowledgeable.
Any federal or state agencies (including student loan and child support) have the right to take any amount due from your refund. It has nothing to do with EIC and they have the right to take the whole refund you are due if you are in default or have a judgment against you.
No. Only the IRS can keep your federal income tax refund, and only for unpaid child support or alimony, unpaid federal or state taxes, student loans in default, and any unpaid federal or government debt.
Private student loans are not due immediately after graduation. The loan terms can differ from state to state and details can be obtained directly from the lender.

Any state/fed agency you owe money to-example school loans
Yes. If it's a state sourced student loan,they can hit your state refund annually until it's satisfied-sorry.
If the person owing child support is delinquent (arrearage), yes. This practice by the court is known as "Tax refund interception", meaning, the state will collect all tax refunds and forward it to you.
