Student Loans taking taxes

[jmahan85]

My student loans went into default last year and they ended up taking my whole refund. This year I am pregnant and would like to know if there is a way to fix this

The only way to prevent the tax refund from being seized for the student loans is to become current on the loan.

Or call them about your loan and tell them your situation. I defaulted last year and called them 2 weeks ago and set up a new plan. They said it had not gone to a level in which my refund would be taken even though I defaulted months ago,  but calling them is really key.
