Not directly. If, however, they sue for debt owed, they may be able to execute a judgment against the debtor's bank account in which the refund was deposited. Other options that can usually be used by a judgment creditor to satisfy a debt is income garnishment, seizure and liquidation of non exempt property, lien against real property. All states have a set of exemptions that the debtor can use to protect real and personal property, the most important one for property owners would be the homestead exemption. If a debtor believes themselves to be in a position where they can be sued, they should become informed of their legal rights under the creditor-debtor laws of the state in which they reside.

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.
