    Default Garnishment of Taxes for Support Arrears in California

    My question involves child support in the State of: California, Los Angeles.

    I currently owe 4.2k in child support arrears. While I am doing my best to get rid of this amount...this coming tax season how likely is Csup to take my income tax check? My wife and I are filing jointly so we were wondering if we should prepare for the worst.

    Thank you!

    Its almost guaranteed that they will seize your tax refund. However, your wife can certainly include an injured spouse form with the tax return in order to exempt her share of the refund from seizure. Keep in mind that it takes quite a while to process an injured spouse form, so your wife's share of the refund would be delayed by a couple of months.

    Your chances of both your federal and state income taxes being intercepted are 100% if DCSS is enforcing your case.

    And you guys aren't going to tell him how to make sure his spouse's portion of her tax refund isn't claimed?!?

    You NEED to claim injured spouse status you must fill out and attach Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, to your tax return.

    Great thank you guys for the information! We will be filing our taxes at H&R Block this year; will they provide that document upon request?

    ALSO!!

    I just started a new job at a new company and I noticed that CSup did not take out any money from this check. Will they automatically continue the previous withholding on my checks at the same rate as before? Or will they adjust support order according to my new pay rate?
