In the U.S., the answer is Yes if you file jointly. I assume your wife's loans are in default. If she needs help getting out of default, contact Default Management Services.

In some instances, yes they can. Did you sign anything at the dental office with your wife? If so, you may have signed something stating that you would pay if she could not.

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.

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.
