31 CFR section 285.3 provides:\n\n(d) Priorities for offset\n(1) As provided in 26 U.S.C. 6402 as amended, a tax refund payment shall be reduced in the following order of priority:\n(i) First by the amount of any past-due support assigned to a State (welfare cases) which is to be offset under 26 U.S.C. 6402(c), 42 U.S.C. 664 and this section;\n(ii) Second, by the amount of any past-due, legally enforceable debt owed to a Federal agency which is to be offset under 26 U.S.C. 6402(d), 31 U.S.C. 3720A and §285.2 of this part;\n(iii) Third, by the amount of any qualifying past-due support not assigned to a State (non-welfare cases) which is to be offset under 26 U.S.C. 6402(c), 42 U.S.C. 664 and this section; and\n(iv) Fourth, by the amount of any past-due, legally enforceable State income tax obligation which is to be offset under 26 U.S.C. 6402(e).\n\n(2) Reduction of the tax refund payment pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 6402(a), (c), (d), and (e) shall occur prior to crediting the overpayment to any future liability for an internal revenue tax. Any amount remaining after tax refund offset under 26 U.S.C. 6402(a), (c), (d), and (e) shall be refunded to the taxpayer, or applied to estimated tax, if elected by the taxpayer pursuant to IRS regulations.\n\nIt appears to me based on this language that an overpayment will be offset against past tax obligations before it becomes a "refund" that can be diverted to child support payments.  However, you should consult a lawyer for confirmation of this.

You only get taxes back if you pay more than you are supposed to. You CAN get money back if you pay more for your bills than you're supposed to, but since they calculate how much you owe every month and you pay that amount every month, that doesn't happen. You have to pay for the services and goods you receive.

Tax returns are basically a yearly reconciliation between the amount you have had withheld from your paychecks and the amount of tax you owe on your total income. If you have had more withheld than you owe, you get the extra refunded. If you have not paid enough, then you owe taxes, which you better pay by April 15 or you will owe penalty and interest as well. Everybody's taxes are different.

go to www.irs.gov and click on where is my refund.  They can give you the status, or if there is a problem with your return, they can give you a number to call. If you owe any back child support or taxes, they can take your refund toward any past due amounts, including student loans.  Good luck to you.

contact the IRS or Department of Revenue.  Request a Compromise and Release.  This will give you the power to work with the IRS and work out a payment arrangment to pay the past due taxes.  \n\nIf taxes are not paid, your bank accounts, savings, property (Home, car or any asset) can be attached with liens or seized but the IRS!!!

Yeah, these people are right.  If the money has been paid to family court already, it will stay on your account and go towards any future balance.\n\nIf they garnished your income tax check, though, you will receive a refund.  It may take several weeks.  But not if it is part of a regular paycheck garnishment.

If they have already contacted you regarding the money, there is no statute of limitations on collecting.  Howefver, they have three years from the date you filed your return to examine your returns.  Once they have done that, they can take their time.  However, if they beleive you have committed fraud, they can audit EVERY tax return you ever filed.\nIf you owe them, you will have to pay.  Bankruptcy won't help since taxes are excluded from debts that get discharged.  Your best bet is to try to work out some payment plan that you can afford.  If they agree to it, DON'T default or they can demand the entire debt to be paid at once.  FYI, state and local taxing authorities make the IRS seem like kittens so don't mess around.

Do you mean arrears on your child support?  \nThe Injured Spouse form seperates your income from your husbands on a joint return and then seperates the taxes due, as well as the credits, and refundable credits so that if you are due a refund, you'll get your portion.  Its important to list all the "child" credits to the injured spouse since the purpose of these is to free up income for household with children and not to pay off your husbands debts.  Need Help?

I hope I understood your situation correctly.  If you owe the IRS back taxes, they will continue to intercept your refunds until the debt is paid, even if they are also garnishing wages or taking other enforcement actions.  Federal law requires the IRS to do this, so it is not negotiable.\n\nTo reduce the amount intercepted, you may want to reduce the amount you are having withheld from your pay.  (See your company's HR or payroll person for this; you may need to do a new W-4 for them.)  You want to try to strike a balance between overpaying (which causes a refund, which gets intercepted) and underpaying (which will cause you to owe income tax at the end of the year).\n\nIf you can enter into a voluntary agreement with the IRS, they should stop the garnishment.  However, they will continue intercepting refunds until everything has been paid.  I hope that helps you.  Good luck.

If you had any income from 2000-through now, and owe money to them, they IRS will eventually catch up and start garnishing your wages from your current employer.\n\nOn the other hand, if you have money owed to you, you could be missing out on thousands of uncollected dollars!

to all of the people who answered this question, not sure if  the laws over this subject varies from state to state, but in the state of Ohio the father has the obligation to pay his child support that he has been ordered from a court to pay until it is paid in full, age has no bearing on this. this is why if and when you child reaches the age of 19 and not being a full time student his support for this child does end with the balance (back payments) that is owed still must be paid in full. in most cases the father and mother can in court come to an cash agreement and settle the debt with each other. to you all that are paying and/or receiving child support payments from an ex or mother/father of your child(s) please read up on what your rights are, this isn't just something that you should keep putting off for another day. if money is owed to your child it is your job to see that he/she receives it, if someone owed you money you would hound then until the bill was paid in full. do the same for your child too...

The IRS will settle with you.  I would ask them for a settlement amount to get a jumping off point and then if it's too much, counteroffer.  If they don't accept, then let them know you plan on hiring an attorney but would rather give the money to them.  If they still don't come down, hire an attorney that takes payments.

If you owe the IRS money you should pay it as soon as possible because you will be charged interest until you do.\n\nYou may have three years to amend a tax return but that is usually if the IRS owes you money. If you owe they want payment now.

Wage withholding is where they take money out of your check before you ever see your check to go where ever.  If you have to pay child support, you can request money be withheld from your check by your employer and sent into the state.  If you are wanting to receive child support from the absent parent (AP) through wage withholding, there has to be a court order or the AP has to make the request to his employer.  Good luck.  This can be a very long process.  (It took me about 4 or 5 years.)

You will probably hear from the IRS when you submit your income taxes.  Make sure you have documentation for your support of the child you are claiming on your taxes.

Why not call a tax attorney (some offer a free first consultation).  Find out from him/her what you need to do, how to handle it and what can happen to your fiance if he gets caught.\n\nMany times, a tax attorney can work out a deal with the IRS where you only pay a fraction of what you owe.  As I see it, contacting an attorney, even if you have to pay, is probably the best way to go.
