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.

Maybe, d/b/a/ accounts are generally subject to a judgment levy if all other information is correct, such as SSN, an address, and so forth. The bigger question may be why is the name different? If is due to a marriage or name change then the judgment is valid and the bank account can more than likely be levied.
