Best Answer

Yes on a Jointly filed return they can. Everyone that signs a tax return is individually and severally responsible for ANY tax due on the return. Having said that there IS a work-around. You have to prepare and submit an Injured Spouse form along with the jointly filed tax return. Then you can get any portion of the refund that would have generated for you if her deficiency was not taken into account.

If they garnish my wifes check can they garnish my income tax if we file jointly?

Yes, if the agency she owes money to has filed paperwork with the IRS and/or your state tax agency. If they garnish the joint refund, you can submit an injured spouse claim which is a request to have the refund split (usually according to how much of the income on the return belongs to each of you). The amount of the refund that belongs to her will be applied to her outstanding debt and the amount of the refund that belongs to you will be sent to you. You have a limited time to make this claim after you are notified that the refund was withheld to pay her debt, so read your notice carefully. If it's a joint debt, then you cannot make this claim because you both owe the money.Usually tax refunds are only garnished by other government groups (federal, state, or local), publicly funded schools, and student loan companies, but there may be others.

By federal law, the finace company cannot speak to anyone other than the person who is holding the account. If they were to ask a question about a wife's medical history, they would need to speak with the account holder who can then decide if he wants to answer that question.


You are in Missouri your wifes bank account has been levied your state refund and federal refund went in during the levy you know they will get some of the money but the tax returns are in both names.?

So I assume, that your saying that you filed a joint tax return and the refund hit your wife's individual account. Could be a tricky one, for starters you will need to file a motion with the courts to challenge the levy and explain your story, and you have a "chance" to get your money released from the hold. However, if your wife was the primary filer and the IRS sent the money just in her name then you might not win the argument.
