Yes, the IRS can withhold your tax refund to satisfy restitution obligations related to a criminal act. If you have been ordered to pay restitution as part of your sentencing, the IRS may apply your refund to fulfill that debt. This withholding is typically done to ensure that victims receive compensation as mandated by the court. It's important to stay informed about any legal obligations you have that may affect your tax refunds.
Yes, the IRS can withhold your federal tax refund to pay restitution if you owe it as part of a court-ordered judgment, such as for criminal activities or fraud. This typically occurs when the restitution is part of a federal conviction, and the IRS is authorized to offset refunds against such debts. However, they cannot seize your refund to pay restitution for non-federal debts, such as state court judgments. If you believe this has happened in error, you can contact the IRS for clarification.
can a personal person take a tax refund from my bank account if they are already getting my paycheck garnished
There is no maximum refund. If you overpaid your federal taxes, you'll get a refund for the overpayment no matter how much it is.
No. Extradition is usually for felonious crimes. They will probably take your state tax refund for next year.
My understanding is the only way you owe unenemployment BACK is because you over-collected by falsifying claims. The questions you asked and swore to to receive the payment...even with all the warnings about how illegal it is to lie on...were found false. (Generally someone saying they weren't working that week when they were). That is a criminal fraud and punishable many ways They give you a break and allow you to pay it back, even arranging a payment schedule, and then may not pursue criminal charges. Hence, if your in accord with the payment agreement - they probably won't look to offset your refund. (As it is owed to a government, they can intercept you refund from the IRS or State). If you have defaulted on the payment agreement, they would likely look for the restitution many ways, including refund offset....and all that becomes minor because at some point, you will have to answer to criminal defrauding the government charges.
You should contact your local IRS about this matter take the duplicate refund check with you.
Status is irrelevant if you mean a tax refund, it's all a matter if you paid enough to need to file and if you overpaid anything on what you owe.
No, the seizure of tax refunds both federal and state can only be done with a court order pertaining to circumstances specified under state and/or federal law. An example would be the seizure of the tax refund to pay court ordered child support that is in arrears.
No one will or should cash your state refund check or any check for that matter without a valid non-expired picture id or ids.
It is mostly true that you will get a fast tax refund if you file early. However, for the year 2011, the government is slightly behind on their work, so it doesn't matter if you file early.
Yes, a refund of overpayment...but a refund nonetheless.
