How long does it take to see a deposit for child support arrears? My child's father is past due nearly $1200 and pays by state DCS . Will his return bring him current?

They told me it’d take up to 108 days :(

@Crystal314 This is a very old thread with posts from multiple users.  We have no context for your post about something that will take 108 days.   If you are asking about child support that was seized from another parent's refund, TurboTax is not involved with that in any way, nor can TT assist with that.   You have to contact the local agency that enforces the child support order for you.

if your ex filed a joint tax return including your income, the IRS would deem that fraudulent which is a crime. Whether they would ever actually prosecute or penalize your ex is a different matter. 

to legally file a joint return in the simplest terms requires two things

1) spousal consent

2) being married on the last day of the tax year.
