I am trying to claim my spouse on my return and he owes back child support. We live in KY so it is not a community property state. He has not worked and does not have any reported income. Everything on the return including income and student expense credits are mine. We do have 4 children that I always claim and get credits for. I don't have federal taxes withheld as I used the child tax credit to offset my tax liability. Can I assume that the entire refund will be protected from being taken since he did not have any income? Please advise.
