Possibly. It depends on what type of court ordered garnishment for child support, or spousal support.
Below are the types of garnishments that can seize your federal refund.
- Past-due federal tax;
- State income tax;
- State unemployment compensation debts;
- Child support;
- Spousal support; and
- Federal nontax debt, like student loans.
If it is for another type of debt, then no. Your refund will not be garnished.
