The IRS cannot seize your refund for the following: 

  • Credit Card or Mortgage Debt (Not Related to Bankruptcy). 
  • Only federal agencies can take your refund. However, if your bank account has a lien on it, a creditor might be able to swoop in and take money out if it's notified you received a hefty deposit.
