When can a federal tax return be seized for debt?

Federal tax refunds can be seized by the IRS for tax arrearages without the normal legal procedures being used. Federal and state tax refunds can be seized by a state child enforcement agency for court ordered child support arrearages. Tax refunds cannot be seized for creditor debt, for example, a judgment for non payment of a credit card account. But, once the refund is placed in a bank account it can be subject to levy by a judgment creditor. The Federal Government can also offset your federal tax refund to pay a student loan debt.

Worried about paying my student loans.?

A SWAT team does not visit the homes of those who are behind in student loan payments. If a borrower of a government-backed student loan fails to make the payments as agreed, there are a number of options the lender has. Wages can be garnished, bank accounts seized, tax refunds withheld, and credit scores ruined. Most lenders will not deal with anyone who has defaulted on a student loan. The student is not eligible for additional borrowing or for any type of student aid. Property can be seized and liens put on homes and cars. The federal government instituted these penalties in order to save the program, which was on the verge of bankruptcy due to non-payment, which was allowed to happen due to a lack of oversight by the feds. There are options, too, to get the loan back into repayment and to reverse negative credit reporting, so all is not lost. But tales of home invasion likely have more to them than simply a defaulted student loan.
