garnishment (income tax refund/credit)
Date: Fri, 12/14/2012 - 13:17
I just received a “request & writ for garnishment (income tax refund/credit)”, so I have been looking around online to is if there is any way not to have our tax refund taken. I currently do not work but did have unemployment income for 2011. My husband & I have always filed our taxes joint. I know that at some point I will have to pay for these judgments, but right now we could use the money. Since our taxes are done by me (I just use Turbo Tax) & if the refund goes into a bank account that is only in my husband’s name will that keep our refund safe from this garnishment since the judgment is only in my name?
If the tax refund goes into
If the tax refund goes into your husband's bank account, then it will remain safe from garnishment.
