Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your spouse is not a dependent.  You spouse's debt will affect  your refund.  The IRS can take the refund for a past debt.

 

There are only four types of debt for which the federal government will withhold your tax refund or send it to one of your creditors. These debts include past-due federal taxes, state income taxes, child support payments and amounts you owe to other federal agencies, such as federal student loans you fail to pay.
