Can a creditor take your federal or state income tax refund to pay a judgment?

In: Taxes and Tax Preparation, Debt Counselors and Consolidation, Income Taxes, Tax Refunds [Edit categories]

Answer:

If the judgment is for state or federal taxes then any refund is subject to seizure by the agency holding the judgment. If it is a creditor judgment, a tax refund would only be subject to attachment if it were placed in a bank account that was being levied by the judgment creditor. I would consult with a tax attorney.
