Yes this could happen if the expected refund amount is less the amount that is owed.

The Department of Treasury's Financial Management Service (FMS), which issues IRS tax refunds, has been authorized by Congress to conduct the Treasury Offset Program. Through this program, your refund or overpayment may be reduced by FMS and offset to pay any past due child support, Federal agency non tax debts, or state income tax obligations.

Go to the IRS.gov web site and use the search box for Topic 203 - Failure to Pay Child Support, Federal Non--Tax Debts, State Income Tax Obligations and Unemployment Compensation Debts

How can a check made out to the decedent's estate be cashed?

A check made payable to the estate of a deceased person can be a problem. Legally, it must be cashed by the court appointed estate representative, i.e., the executor or administrator. If there is no other property owned by the decedent and no probate was filed, and if the decedent owned a joint bank account with another person, the bank may allow the check to be deposited in that account. However, if that doesn't work then a probate will need to be filed to establish the identity of the person who can legally cash the check.

Can I go back and change the return I already filed my tax return claiming my son as my dependent but I've decided to let his father claim him because my son resided with his father last year?

Generally, yes. Form 1040X is Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. To change the number of exemptions (personal and dependent) claimed on your original return, you fill out lines 25 to 32 in Part I-Exemptions on page 2 of Form 1040X.There is a special situation for a Qualifying Child of more than one person. You both can have a tax benefit. The noncustodial parent can claim an exemption and the Child Tax Credit for the child. The custodial parent can claim the child as a Qualifying Child for (1) Head of Household filing status, (2) Credit for Child and Dependent Care expenses, and (3) Earned Income Credit.

Can you file your son as a dependent if your mother filed you as a dependent?

You cannot claim any dependents if you can legitimately be claimed as a dependent by someone else. So if your mother legitimately claimed you, you cannot claim your son. But you should check the rules for claiming a dependent to see if your mother could also have claimed your son.

Will you receive money if your dependent has been claimed unjustly for the last 3 years?

You won't unless you file tax returns for the three years in question claiming the dependent. If you've already filed tax returns without claiming the dependent, you should file amended tax returns for the years in question. The deadline for filing a 2005 amended return is April 15, 2009. It is too late to amend years before 2005. Once you file your returns, the IRS will contact you for additional information. Note that if you e-file a return after someone else has claimed the same dependent, your e-file will be rejected. People erroneously assume this means that the first person to file gets the money. All it means is that the second person has to send in a paper return in order to begin the process of determining who gets the dependent.


If you have filed for bankruptcy and your boyfriend claims you as a dependent on his tax return will this affect your bankruptcy?

The person filing for the BK will have to present IRS and in most cases state tax documents. This may create a problem for the BK filer and for the person who claimed them as a dependent. IRS regulations for claiming dependents is very strict, the claiming of a non-relative, non-spouse or anyone who lives in the household when there is not a legally established relationship is not considered an eligible dependant. In such a situation as cited it is quite possible the BK will be dismissed and the IRS will initiate an audit of the tax filer.
