Who can keep your tax refund?

If you owe back taxes, the IRS can apply the refund to prior year's taxes owed. I think if someone is in default on a student loan, then tax refund may be withheld to pay that (not positive though). The IRS dot GOV website may have more information.


Can a person receive a tax refund if they are currently in a payment plan for prior year's federal taxes?

Any refund due you in a future year will be applied against the amount you owe. Therefore, you may not get all of your refund if you owe certain past-due amounts, such as federal tax, state tax, a student loan, or child support. The IRS will automatically apply the refund to the taxes owed. If the refund does not take care of the tax debt you must continue the installment agreement.

Will my federal tax refund from 2011 be applied to what I owe for 2010?

When you file your taxes for 2011 you will be given the option to put all or part of your refund towards your NEXT years taxes. But since you owe taxes from the previous year you will most likely not receive a tax refund as it will automatically be applied to what is already owed to the IRS. It is best to set aside money each month if you are self employed, or if unemployed as you stated, if you file for unemployment payments, have your taxes deducted from your paymnts prior to your receiving them. If your refund exceeds the amount your currently owe from last years taxes you will receive a letter stating how much has been with-held and what, if any, your remaining balance is either owed to you from your refund or still owed to the IRS.
