How do I get the IRS to give me judgment debtor's tax refunds?

What is the name of your state?
Massachusetts

I have a couple threads going on in Small Claims and in Tax Law forums
in reference to trying to collect a judgment from a neighbor.

The angles I'm attempting to use are:
1) Schedule D to write off a bad nonbusiness debt;
2) sending the 3 credit bureaus copies of the judgment and proof of
nonpayment so they make a dent on his reports;

and now:

3) I want to know how to have his 2004 tax refund given to me.
Send the IRS proof of judgment and nonpayment? Is there a form to fill out?
Do I need a lawyer to seize his federal and state tax refunds?

Since you're representing yourself technicaly you can almost always do the same things without an attorney than you can with an attorney. Therefore, in that regard you don't "need" an attorney.

However, you have some very complex issues. You need the advice of a good attorney who works in those areas. It would be a good investment.
