    Default Garnisment of a tax refund

    I live in washington state and am being garnished for old medical bills and need to know if they are going to garnish the refund me and my wife recive this year?

    If so, is there a way to stop them from taking it?
    They garnish for 3 months and then 3 months off.. right now they are not taking out anything of my paycheck, But will start again in about a month.
    They only know where i work and have only been garnishing my paycheck.

    They lumped on a few old medical bills of my wifes as well being are married.

    So will they take all of the refund being we are both on the garnishment.

    Default Tax Refunds

    It can be a bit tricky to garnish a tax refund, but if they anticipate that you are receiving one you should anticipate that they may try.
