Can the IRS hold your tax return if you owe unemployment money?

Absolutely. If you owe any government agency they will put a lien on your tax refund and it will be taken and applied to your debt. After this you will receive a letter showing the amount take and to whom it was sent. You probably will get a letter from the agency that you owe showing receipt of the funds and the balance still owed or if your account is cleared it will also show this. The IRS doesn't actually send out the money but it is done by another Department of Treasury Division.

Will you get a refund if you have unfiled taxes?
It depends on whether the IRS is actively seeking for your unfiled returns to be filed. If the IRS does not have a reason to believe that you were required to file a return, then you will probably get your refund without any problems. However, if the IRS shows that you are missing some past year tax returns, and they have enough income reported to you that leads them to believe that you should have filed a return, they may hold your refund until you can get it filed. The IRS is also authorized to prepare a return for you if you fail to do so yourself. This is known as a 6020(b) return, or a "Substitute for Return". The IRS may have already done one of these based upon the income that was reported to you, and typically their estimates of what you would have owed are much higher than it would have been if you had filed the return yourself. If the IRS has done this, then they may already think that you owe them money on that Substitute for Return -- if that has happened, they will keep your refund and apply it towards your debt. If the IRS has done a Substitute for Return, you can still file your own return and provide the correct numbers by going through a "SFR Reconsideration" process. The IRS can take 4-6 months to process the actual return, though, so this could again delay your refund until they sort it all out.
What can you do if the IRS put a hold on your money in your checking account?
If the IRS has put a hold on your money in your checking account, it usually means that you owe taxes. In such a case, the best course of action is to contact the IRS to understand the reason for the hold and work out a resolution. You may need to consult with a tax professional if the issue is complex or if you need assistance with negotiating a payment plan or resolving any disputes.
Can the IRS freeze your checking account if you owe them money?
I don't believe so. They will make sure they get paid by garnishing your wages though. Hope this helps a little. The IRS can issue a Notice of Levy to your bank. It doesn't "freeze" your bank accounts, per se. What it does is require the bank to turn over any money that is in your bank account at the moment the Notice of Levy is received. Any money you deposit after the Notice of Levy is received remains yours, the IRS only gets what was there when the bank got the notice. Banks are required to hold that money aside for 21 days, and then turn it over to the IRS. This means that you have a 21 day window to convince the IRS to release the levy, and if you can get them to do that the bank will return the money to your account. After the 21st day the bank sends the money to the IRS -- at that point it is almost impossible to get your money back, so act quickly!
How long does someone have to hold on to their paperwork in case of an IRS audit?
The processes by which the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) works can be confusing to some. One helpful hint is to hold onto tax paperwork for three years after it has been filed, as the IRS cannot audit a return filed more than three years prior.
Can a bank hold more money than the levy requires?
Yes, a bank can hold more money than the levy requires. However, the particular bank must get an exception notice from the IRS.
If money is owed to IRS and child support who gets tax return first?
The IRS will always keep the money for themselves first. Only once you do not owe the IRS any money will they allow another creditor to offset that refund.
