They can continue untill the amount due is paid off. If you are falling behind, it sounds like you are paing less than your monthly obligation, you should atleast pay that. Once your obligation to pay suppor thas stopped (may not be 18, will continue untill HS grad atleast even if over 18, may continue in to college...) then you would still have to pay any amounts that you have not already paid.\n\nIf your child support obligation is out of line with your income, you should discuss the issue with a lawyer. You may be able to get your monthly amount reduced.

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.

More than likely...there are three main resons a refund can be withheld.\n\n1. Child support.\n\n2. Back Taxes\n\n3. Student loans in default.\n\nI am sure there are others, but these are the most common.\n\nGood luck!

Actually, it could effect it - it depends upon the type of loan and whether or not it's past due.  For example,  if a spouse is delinquent in paying child support and the the attorney general has filed some sort of paperwork with the IRS to withhold the tax refund.  Also, past due school loans could garnish the refund.  In these type of cases, the other spouse may be able to file an "injured spouse claim" to claim a refund for their part of income and tax, if applicable.  \n\nIf there are just regular loans, other than mortgage, this will have no bearing on filing.

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...

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?

This is a very confusing subject and the laws have recently changed.  I just taught a tax course and we went over this in excruciating detail.  I won't go into all the permutations on who can claim whom.  Instead, I'll stick with your situation.\n\nAssumptions:\n\n1) Aside from you and your boyfriend (whom I assume is not the father of your children), there are no other adults living in the household who are related to either you or the children.\n\n2) Your children lived with you for at least 6 months, but did not live with any other relatives for at least 6 months.\n\n3) You earned less than $3,300 (probably nothing, right?).\n\n4) Your boyfriend paid for over half of your living costs including rent (or the fair value of rent if he owns his home), food eaten in the home, clothing, utilities, and college expenses!\n\n5) You and your children all lived with your boyfriend for the entire year.\n\n6) Your boyfriend paid for over half of the cost of living for each and every kid.\n\nIf all of these are true, your boyfriend will be able to claim all 3 of you as dependents for 2006.  These type of dependents are called "qualifying relatives".  Don't let the term "relative" throw you.  Anyone who lives the whole year with someone can (assuming other things are true) be claimed by them.\n\nSince your children are his "qualifying relatives" and not "qualifying children", your boyfriend will NOT be able to use them to take advantage of the Child Tax Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit, Child Care Credit (daycare), nor Earned Income Credit (EIC).  In addition, regardless what you may have heard, neither you nor your kids allow your boyfriend to file as Head of Household.  Anyone who is NOT related to the taxpayer can NOT qualify them for Head of Household.\n\nNow, if you happen to get married by December 31st, you will both file as Married Filing Jointly, you will be able to claim all the credits, you will get a higher standard deduction, and you will be able to write off college tuition and fees.

If it was forgiven (legally)--it can not be resurrected after the fact unless she can prove to a judge that she was coerced into forgiving those arrears.  If you still owe arrears (which were NOT forgiven) then you do still have to pay to the MOTHER as she incurred the costs of 'raising' that child while support went unpaid.

Some states do all their enforcement adminstratively....so it depends on your state.  In my state we do obtain court orders to pay, but if the payer falls behind they administratively ADD an arrears payment without notifying either party.  So yes, it can be done.   There are some cases where CSAs allow the payer to pay without garnishing his wages, but again--if he fails to pay or falls behind--they will immediately send out the income withholding to the employer.  Please don't assume it was at your ex's request.  Agencies are under a lot of pressure to keep payers current or they lose 'federal incentives' to their respective agencies.  She very well may have been unaware of the enforcement action taken by child support. Check your state laws regarding child support at:\n\nhttp://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.htm

The Department Of The Treasury's Financial Management Service, who processes refund payments for the IRS, will notify you if they are turning over an overpayment to whoever holds the paper on your loan.  It is this agency, and not the IRS, that would have this information.  They notify the IRS that the amount was taken, but not by whom.\n\nNote that this withholding would only happen if you are indebted to the federal or other government due to their guarantee of your loan.

Depends on the laws of your state.  I'd try to talk to both and make arrangements for payments.  Bank I don't think can put you in jail, but child support violation could.

Wow!  You are in for a battle.  Call the child support office first.  If they can't or won't help you, you'll probably have to get an attorney.   If you're really owed the money, don't let them keep it.   It CAN be done.   Good lluck
