Tax refunds can be taken to pay what is called tax liens or offsets. If you owe any unpaid debt to a State or Federal Government Agency then yes, your tax refund will be taken to apply to this debt. Most common item that result in offsets are Defaulted Student Loans, Overpayment of Social Security Benefits, Overpayments of Food Stamps or other social assistance programs, Debt of prior income tax for state or federal taxes, and other government debts that you have with a federal or state agency.
