What is the name of your state? TX
Hello to everyone, first time poster. I have sat here for about the last hour reading through the Child Support forum and I must say that I wish I had found you guys a LOT sooner!
I have gone through 10 years of BS, self-research (self-doing) and fighting with the OAG and having this place through all of that would have been nice, I can't imagine why I just now found it.
So, my question. I have searched and searched trying to find out about intercepting tax returns. I was never married to the 'sperm donor', but we have a visitation/support order and have had since 2001. Not to mention a medical insurance order that has never been followed. The last I knew he was living in Kansas. We have gone 6 years with no contact from him, but he does have a withholding order for support, so when he does work, I get payments.
I do know that Texas law states that they will intercept tax returns. I have also found that it doesn't matter what the laws of the state are where he resides, that they have to abide by the state in which the order is out of. True? Also, if my case is through the OAG, wouldn't they automatically intercept those refunds? Granted, if he even is getting a refund.
I know he has to be filing, he is working. I know he is working because I am getting child support payments. *knocks on wood*
I have tried to contact local IRS offices, emails, phone calls and personal visits and I keep getting re-directed to Nancy down the hall who is too busy doing her nails to mess with me so she then sends me to someone else. It is frustrating to say the least.
I hadn't really thought about this until last year when I had my taxes done and it was mentioned to me that there may be money 'somewhere' for me from his tax returns. I, of course, as a single mom busting her butt to stay above water thought that sounded kinda good!
I am just out of places to look and people to ask so I thank you for any help or advice at all.
