Some private pensions are not protected under state and/or federal law. All SS benefits are protected under federal statute from creditor attachment as are all government and military pensions. Any benefits that are exempt from creditor levy should never be commingled with other funds in the same bank account, to do so could result in the account being"frozen" until the court rules on how much of said monies are exempt from levy. The best option is such cases where it is unclear if pension benefits are protected is for the holder to obtain legal advice before a creditor seeks legal recourse.

Can a creditor seize your bank account with a tax refund from your pension?

While there may be some limits or restraints on seizing a tax refund or pension (and probably not as much as you may want to think), once any of these items are deposited into a bank account they lose their identity and are like any other funds. It is only while the tax is with the IRS, or while the pension is in the actual IRA or 401K (or such), that it has any protection.
