I OWE BACK CHILD SUPPORT OR OTHER DEBTS; WILL THE IRS TAKE MY REFUND?

The IRS requires that all obligations such as back taxes, child support, and overdue student loans be paid from your refund prior. If you were recently married and your spouse has one of these obligations you may be able to protect your portion of the refund by filing an Injured Spouse form. Ask your tax professional for more information.
