Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, if you file a joint tax return with your husband and his refund is being seized to pay back child support then the joint refund will be seized.

 

If you were legally married as of December 31st then you are not eligible to file as head-of-household.  You can file as married filing separately which will protect your refund even if his is seized.
