Generally the only ones you have to worry about intercepting a refund are State/Gov't debts, but you filed jointly so all debts are joint in many states.

Generally, if the car is jointly owned, a creditor may be able to go after the co-owner's interest in the vehicle.

It is advisable to consult with a legal professional for guidance on this matter.


What happens if you have a state garnishment from you job that you are paying and you file your taxes Do the just take the state taxes or do they take your federal taxes if you are in a poverty level?

It depends on what is owed. For instance if you owe back child support they will take what is owed in arrears out of your federal return. This can also happen with a government school loan that is in default and other government debts. However, if you are married filing jointly then there is a form the spouse can file with your tax return that allows the spouse to receive his or her portion of the refund. It is called an injured spouse claim.


After a divorce a spouse filed the taxes as married filing jointly and kept more than 50 percent of the return. What are the options for the other spouse?

If you were no longer married at the end of the day on December 31th, you cannot file a joint return. The other spouse should simply file a legitimate return for themselves and not worry about what their ex-spouse did. If you try to e-file, it will probably be rejected, but you should then file on paper. The first step is to file your own return, nothing can be done until you do that. Of course, the IRS will notice the discrepancy at that point and send you a letter. Respond to the letter with the proper documentation showing that you were divorced and your spouse should not have filed a joint return. It will take some time to settle and your refund (if you are due one) will be delayed for months.

If you filed bankruptcy and one of the creditors had a lien on a car do you get the title back after the bankruptcy is final?

It really depends on the type of bankruptcy petition you file. If you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy the creditor who put the lien on your car may be able to take your vehicle. If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy you'll have the opportunity to make payment arrangements with your creditor and in that case you should get the title back after all of your payments are made and your amended. contract with the creditor has been fulfilled.
