No, but they can take away tax refunds to pay a child support arrears. Child support is separate and for all purposes at a higher category than taxes. Money owed towards taxes will be taken by other methods, but it is easy and now legal for child support to be taken from tax refunds.
Taxes, no; tax refunds due the obligor, yes. Not sure what is meant by "non biological child" - paternity must be established before any support is ordered. I have gone to Washingtonlawhelp.org. Past due child support can be taken out of Tax refunds for a non-biological child. (from a spouse of the non-custodial parent)
No. Federal tax refunds are not taxable. In some cases, state tax refunds are taxable.
I assume you are asking if you can keep your tax refunds and not if you can keep your tax returns. The only case where your tax refunds will be offset and kept by the government is if you owe a debt to any government agencies. This includes child support, federal or state taxes, student loans in default, overpayment of Social Security benefits, unemployment benefits, etc. Basically any debt owed to a government agency will be kept. Debts owed to private companies or banks cannot put a lien on your tax refunds.
If taxpayers do not claim tax refunds that they are owed, the money becomes property of the United States Treasury and is used to pay government debts and costs, or it may be used to take care of debts owed by the would-be receiver, such as unpaid child support. People have three years to file their claims before time runs out.
No, they don't effect your tax calculation if that's what you mean. Depending on who has the judgments, tax refunds may be able to be taken.
You will receive refunds from the IRS if you are due the money. You may have to enlist a tax attorney to be a middle man and help you.
Most likely. Just about every state will intercept federal and state income tax refunds for child support arrears.
Yes, if amount owed in back child support is more than the tax refund. Garnishment percentage limits only apply to wages and other period payments. The entire amount of tax refunds can be applied to debts owed.
None
One can find online info on tax refunds on websites such as Turbo Tax, Canada Online, Kiwi Refunds, Tax Payer Service Center and many others as well. It can be easily found on government websites.
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.
