Yes. If you are in arrears in child support (if you owe more than your current monthly payment) the IRS can and usually will take/keep your Federal tax return for payment. Instead of getting a refund check in the mail you will receive a statement/receipt of the amount the IRS applied to your child support debt. If you owe more child support than your refund check is worth the IRS will keep all of it. If you owe less than the value of your refund check, the IRS will send you the difference. You will not, however, received confirmation from the Attorney General that they received the payment from the IRS. You will need to obtain a payment history from the Attorney General to confirm the money was applied.
You can call Jackson Hewitt or H&R Block if you have further questions.
Most likely. Just about every state will intercept federal and state income tax refunds for child support arrears.
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.
That is odd. Here in this state Maine it is noted as a child support payment and does go as such on records, when given to the custodial parent for past due child support owed as such a payment to child support and should be a credit towards the child support owed. You need to check with your State Child Support as you did not mention the State you are in. But where it is federal it should be with all states, not just one. But you need to check with the Child Support Enforcement of your state as to why it was not put down as a payment for past due child support and why you were not credited for the amount as of yet. You do have the right to call and ask as the non custodial parent and it is your money that was taken away. So you do have the right to know why.
Support is owed to the parent (or the State), not the child.
The amount designated by the laws of the state in which the child support order is issued.
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.
You need to visit your local family court and request a copy of your state child support guidelines.
no
Only if the person qualifies under the IRS guidelines for dependents. If the action is taken to avoid the seizure of a tax refund for child support arrearages it is a federal criminal offense and all participating parties would be subject to prosecution.
That is dependent on your state guidelines. see link.
Yes
