If student loans are in deferment will they take your tax refund

[ChelsiE2]

No.  If your student loans are in deferment or forbearance then you will still receive your refund.  

However, if your student loans are in default, then you'll likely end up not receiving your tax refund.  You should double check with your loan servicer.  Often times deferment agreements are only good for six months.  Make sure of your loan status before you actually file.

This works, except what if her husband is in Afghanistan fighting for this country?
