If you took the amount as a deduction as State taxes on your federal return originally (say refund is from a prior year), then getting it back now is reported as income.
No. The IRS will take an income tax refund for back federal or state taxes, unpaid child support or alimony, student loans in default, and any unpaid federal or government debt.

If you owe past due back taxes, the IRS and state tax authorities have agreements to intercept each other's refunds. It's only a question of whether enough time has passed to get the paperwork done.
You will have to pay a fine. And pay all the money back that you owe.

Yes. My husband and I filed our federal refund jointly (mind you he was behind 3K on child support) and they took it all of what he owed. BUT, I went back and filed out an 'Injured Spouse Form' to get back what i earned.
Was an Injured Spouse form filed?

The collection of owed back child support typically comes out of the non-custodial parent's federal tax refund or state tax refund, depending on the laws of the specific state. The federal and state governments have mechanisms in place to intercept these refunds and apply them towards the owed child support amount.
A Federal Tax Refund is when the Government pays you back money it has technically borrowed from you during the previous year without paying you interest.

Just did my taxes yesterday. I'm getting just over $11,000 back from federal and state all together.

To make things really easy and efficient, i would go to the HR block representative close to me and ask them to do the federal tax refund, they will take care of everything after that.
As far a federal taxes go, you must file within 3 years of the original due date for filing if you are due a refund. The IRS will accept filings after that, but they'll keep any refund you may have been due.The deadline for filing for state refunds varies by state.
