i seen on some already answered question about filling injured spouse for back child and so i was curious if i should have done my taxes differently.
It sounds like your son's father owes you child support instead. If this is the case and he files a tax return with a refund, the IRS will take his refund and pay you whatever they can collect.
If you are filing a joint tax return with your son's father, you may want to file an injured spouse claim to maintain "your portion" of the refund from the tax return. You can mail the claim separate from your tax return.
