Generally, yes. If the state where you owe taxes has already put in a garnishment request to the IRS, then any federal refunds issued to either of you will be garnished to pay the debt. If you also owe money to the IRS they will keep it first. If you owe money to other agencies, the refund may also be used to pay those debts as well. You can only submit an injured spouse claim to split a refund if only one person owes the debt that is being garnished. If you both owe the debt, then you are both equally liable for all of it.
