My response:

No, because you can't be trusted to KEEP paying. Your income tax is guaranteed payment.

The reason is because the state is making sure that your arrearages and the interest on your arrearages get paid off as quickly as possible. They will never stop taking your income tax refund until the balance is paid in full. If you had paid your child support on time, when it was due, you wouldn't have this problem now.

In the long run you are really better off this way. The quicker the arrearages get paid off the less interest will be accrued. Find out how much interest you are being assessed. You might be better off taking out a loan (particularly a home equity loan) to pay the whole thing off and be done with it.

Ok, then you obviously don't understand the concept of "interest". When you have a debt...interest gets added to that debt. Obviously there was a period of time when you didn't pay your child support...which resulted in the "debt". Obviously you did not pay off that debt plus accrued interest before your children became legal adults.

Any payments made toward your arrearages due probably were credited against interest first...and the actual arrearages after. Therefore no, you aren't paying just towards interest now...you are paying on arrearages AND interest....and the interest will continue to accrue until the debt is paid off.

If your yearly payments are less that the yearly interest on the debt, you could be paying for the rest of your life.

The debt doesn't go away because the children become legal adults. Only the "current" obligation goes away.

Are you currently married? You cannot prevent the IRS from taking your tax return, but if you are married filing jointly, then you can fill out the Injured Spouse form so that your spouse can receive her portion of the tax return. I don't remember the form #, but you can look it up on the IRS website.

Change your W-4 form to have less taxes taken out of your check.

On the other hand, if you are expecting a refund, by law, you aren't even required to file taxes.

Which law is this?

 

[stepmom&mom]

I believe it's common knowledge that anyone that makes below a certain gross income is not required to file taxes.

If he makes earned income of less than $4,750 than he wouldn't have to file. If he is paying $1,680 in child support for the year, he is probably making more than the $4,750.

injured spouse form ,look for that and you will fined the right form you need and your now wife will be able to get back refunds depending how long they have been taking your refund

Uh....that's actually incorrect.

If the majority of the refund is from your wive's withholding, she should consider filing seperately. She does not owe CS to anyone and is not responsible to pay yours.
