Can other government agencies take my refund? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.
Someone took my IRS Refund
The IRS will send your refund to other government agencies. This includes debts owed on back child support. If there is an error on your child support debt, you should contact the agency directly. Calling the IRS about the error will not stop your refund or future refunds from going towards the debt owed.
If you do not want your refund to go towards past child support payments—adjust your withholdings so that you only have enough withheld to cover your tax liability. This will give you time to work out any disagreement you have over amounts due without losing future refunds.
