Deductions & credits

Would you say in 2024? This is the same situation… I’m not paying child support currently because my kids have lived with me for the past three years. I am filing for full custody of my kids but on paper it says that I owe child support… I owe back taxes and when I file my tax return, I would like the return to be applied towards back taxes and not child support because the child support office is getting rid of those arrears once I get Custody.

would it be fair to say that if I file my tax return that any money I receive will be applied towards what I owe the IRS first prior to going to my ex-wife?

 

I have to file all my taxes in order to gain support so I can show that I claimed them on my taxes for the past three years… So I’m caught in a hard spot of which do I do first any help with this would be amazing.
