We filed 3/18/13 and today is May 23rd. As of yet no return so I would say yes. Was told it could take up to 16 weeks to process the return.

Yes. The entire refund amount will be seized by the IRS and allocated to the appropriate state child enforcement agency.

The non obligated spouse should file form F8379 with supporting documents. Generally the IRS will schedule an interview to detemine if the injured spouse claim is valid.

It depends on what is owed. For instance if you owe back child support they will take what is owed in arrears out of your federal return. This can also happen with a government school loan that is in default and other government debts. However, if you are married filing jointly then there is a form the spouse can file with your tax return that allows the spouse to receive his or her portion of the refund. It is called an injured spouse claim.

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.
If you have a court ordered tax refund garnishment from Michigan and you now reside in New York For 4 years can they take the refund Also can the garnish the wages of the spouse if they file jointly?
Yes.they can, but you should file jointly and so they don't garnish the spouses part, file injured spouse, and I do not know why it is called that but I know my husband owes back support and that is how we have to file so I will get my part.The one above, who erased my previous answer but goes on to say she doesn't really know what she is signing....well hope she qualifies or it could be criminal...And no matter what, to avoid the issue, filing seperately is better. And no matter what...getting your spouse to pay their obligations, (like there taxes or supporting their kids) is better. And if your in a community property state, or the debt doesn't come from those very specific things, etc., etc., injured spouse won't work. Accepting it, and when the problem comes up...you'll have serious ones (probably after he abandons you like he apparently may have done to his last), or just fails to pay his taxes now too...maybe lies on them (the current ones YOU ARE responsible for).You are an injured spouse if your share of the overpayment shown on your joint return was, or is expected to be, applied against your spouse's past-due federal debts, state taxes, or child or spousal support payments. If you are an injured spouse, you may be entitled to receive a refund of your share of the overpayment. For more information, get Form 8379, Injured Spouse Claim and Allocation.

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.
