No, but you can write them off as itemized deductions on your Schedule A.
You do not pay taxes on a federal tax refund from the IRS unless they sent your refund late and paid you interest on the amount due to you. You would have received a 1099 from the IRS which shows the interest paid to you.
If you owe money to the IRS for prior years taxes, and you have a refund due to you on this year's taxes, the IRS will keep the refund and apply it towards the debt that you owe.
Yes, the IRS may hold your refund if you owe taxes or have other outstanding debts such as unpaid child support or federal student loans. They can use your refund to offset these debts.
To receive a refund for overpaying your estimated taxes, you need to file a tax return with the IRS. On your tax return, you can claim the overpayment as a credit or request a refund. The IRS will then process your return and issue a refund if you are owed one.
I believe that the IRS has specific dates called the IRS Tax Refund dates for your federal IRS tax refund money. On the other hand, if you file your taxes electronically, you can receive your tax refund in as little as 10 days after filing electronically, according to the IRS.
I don't understand your question. A refund (rapid or otherwise) occurs when you have overpaid your taxes and the IRS owes you money. If you owe the IRS money, you will not be getting any kind of refund. If you are talking about the situation where this year's tax return shows a refund, but you still owe unpaid taxes from last year, do NOT apply for a rapid refund. The IRS will keep your refund to pay your back taxes and the rapid refund company will still charge you a fee for processing the rapid refund even though you won't be getting any refund. You've waited this long to get a refund. Even if the IRS wasn't getting your refund, is it really worth paying $100 or $200 in fees just to get your refund one week earlier? well that answer is not totally true if you owe the IRS does not mean will not get any refund back because they could have still owed it from the year before and the IRS will deduct what is owed and send out the difference
Yes if you are in the FMS offset refund tax program.

Report the mortgage interest on Schedule A, just like you would any other mortgage. If they do not issue you a mortgage interest statement and report it to the IRS, you will need to provide additional information.
A tax refund or tax rebate is a refund on taxes. When your tax liability (the amount of tax you owe) is less than the amount of taxes paid or taken out of your paycheck, the IRS will give you a tax refund once your return is filed.
If you do an EZ File for your taxes, then ideally you will get your refund at a faster rate. This is because you will submit it electronically and the IRS will receive it almost instantly.
If you owe back taxes, the IRS can apply the refund to prior year's taxes owed. I think if someone is in default on a student loan, then tax refund may be withheld to pay that (not positive though). The IRS dot GOV website may have more information.
