If by "just married" you mean you married in 2009, there is still time to avoid problems for 2009.
The best way to make sure that your tax refund is not taken away from you is to make sure you don't get a tax refund.
The reason people get tax refunds is because every week they have too much tax taken out of their paychecks. So you are essentially paying too much tax week after week. Then at the end of the year, you have to ask the government to repay all that money you overpaid.
Get a new Form W-4 from your employer's payroll or HR department. Fill it out and claim MORE withholding allowances. Note that Form W-4 asks for withholding allowances, not for exemptions. The number of withholding allowances can be more than the number of exemptions you claim on your 1040 at the end of the year. Claim enough allowances so that you will not be receiving a refund at the end of the year. (Hint: You can owe up to $1000 in federal taxes at the end of the year without penalty.) You can use this calculator to play around with different numbers of allowances to see how much tax will be taken out of your pay at different levels:

If you are receiving the Earned Income Credit (EIC), ask your employer for a Form W-5. That will allow you to receive a bit of your EIC in each paycheck instead of waiting until the end of the year to receive it all in one big lump sum.
Also ask for your state's equivalent of Form W-4 to adjust your state withholding.
Adjust your withholding down to the point where you are getting a very small refund or will owe a little bit of money at the end of the year. (Be sure to save up some money if you will owe at the end of the year.)
If you don't have a refund coming to you, no one can take it away from you and you save yourself all the hassle of filing innocent spouse forms and begging for your own money back. And you also get a bigger paycheck every week.

If you were collecting child support from your husband before you got married and now are separated but not legally will you get in trouble if the marriage was never reported to the courts?
If you didn't apply for a marriage license, you didn't get married in the eyes of the law. But that has nothing to do with child support. Child support is just that - support from the biological father for the child he helped to create. His responsibility to that child has nothing to do with marital status. If you did not go through the courts to get this support and you are worried that it won't continue, you need to take it to court and make his obligation to your child legally binding.
What if your husband and you have lived apart for past 3 years you are pregnant from your boyfriend Can you get child support from your husband or boyfriend?
Please don't be a chickenhead and put the child off on your husband,you know its your boyfriends. Just because your still married to your husband doesn't give you the right to do that to him,he can go to court and prove that you and he haven't lived together for three years and the DNA testing of the child wil prove all this. Make the boyfriend be more responsible and be a man and take care of his child. Remember the child support is not yours,it belongs to the child for things she/he needs. And if you receive AFDC,it is also for the child.

In the state of pa can a child still receive child support if it is not in the support agreement?
In the state of Pa...I don't know their laws. But you would think if support was not included in the agreement how come/change of circumstances? Support your kids don't wait for someone to make you. Is the support agreement legal, is it registered with the courts or just an agreement between the two. Yes I believe child support agency can administratively initiate a support order if none is in place.
