Can someone garnish my federal tax refund?

Yes. If you have Federal loans such as student loans, that can be garnished. Back taxes are also regularly garnished. Unpaid child support especially if the children are receiving government benefits can be garnished.

However, it is difficult for ordinary debt collectors to garnish your tax returns. Generally, it must be a government agency that can garnish the tax returns.

Lots of people can garnish your federal tax refund. It's intercepted by the gov't to pay for outstanding student loans, back taxes owed, back child support owed, etc. They don't garnish it per se. They pay what is owed and give you what's left . . . if there is anything left.

The government can for money you owe them such as student loans, child support,etc. but i believe that's the only people who can. There are more restrictions on having a tax refund garnished and they may have to get a new court order if they are a private entity. It may even be too late for them to do so.

Ask a tax attorney. If it's the government you owe money to expect them to take at least 10% off that tax refund.

Yes, but only federal agencies. Child support and the DMV are STATE agencies. Therefore they can't garnish your federal refund, but can garnish only your state refund. It is unusual to garnish your federal refund, unless you owe the IRS. They will keep your refunds until you have paid them in full. The most probable cause for the state garnishing your state refund is owing hospital bills. The hospital can garnish your state refund, but not your federal refund.
Hope this Helps!

Short answer - Yes. Long answer - why not try paying your bills? Cut back on your spend and set-up a plan to pay your creditors. It takes a bit of discipline, but it can be done. And creditors are usually agreeable to working on something you can afford instead of taking the extra effort to garnish or sell debts to collectors. Give it a try! Find a non-profit credit counseling group that can lobby your creditors on your behalf. They work!

The Federal Government can garnish your tax refund. I had my return held for 6 weeks last year for a $138 outstanding debt that supposedly happens 4 years prior and even though my refund was over $5,000 and they could have just taken the money and gave me the rest, they held my refund. They're the Government, thats what they do.


ranamuk
Yes, but only federal agencies such as the Department of Motor Vehicles (if you owe registration fees, etc.), Social Security if you have been overpaid by them. Medi-Cal. If you owe a court ordered restitution or fine, federal taxes will be withheld to pay that as well. I know from experience that your entire federal tax return can be withheld to pay back a federal debt. If you owe taxes from past years your federal tax return can be withheld to pay that also. A personal debt such as credit card debt, a personal loan, mortgage, etc. can not be usually withheld . Check with the IRS web site to find further info.

I asked the question for my daughter. She works as a hairdresser and with times being tough right now, she's not making much money. She is raising her 2 kids {ages 5 and 4} without any help from the kids father. She really needs her tax return to have some dental work done. If it's not done, there is a chance she could die. She has tried to pay on her student loan, but honestly, she just can't afford to at this time. She is living at the poverty level and needs this money to live. Can anything be done to help her get her refund? Or some of the refund? Thanks everyone.

Ok i am stressing because someone told me that the IRS can garnish my husbands taxes, because i owe the DMV. The one thing that i want to know is if i am his dependent, can they still garnish his tax return. If i don't file can they still do that?
