If I owe state criminal fines can the government take my return? If so will they take all of it?
I am not sure if state criminal fines are subject to collection through your income tax returns. However, The Bureau of the Fiscal Service:US Department of The Treasury, handles debt collection through income tax returns. You might want to view their website and you could also contact them. When the web page opens, you can go to "our programs" and click on "debt collection" to learn more. https://fiscal.treasury.gov/fsservices/gov/debtColl/dms/top/debt_top.htm
