Hi, I filed my taxes, I am separated from my husband and turbo tax recommended I file head of household in stead of married filing seperate. Because we can’t divorce until August. My tax return still hasn’t been refunded and it’s been 21 days. I am worried they’re going to take all of my refund toward our previous tax debt and his current tax debt for 2024. Will they take all of my refund? Is there a way to prevent it?
