Court ordered state tax responsibility vs. federal refund I was divorced in 2013. My ex and I had old tax debt to both state (Kansas) and federal from many years ago. In the divorce settlement ordered by the court, the ex is responsible for state and I am responsible for federal. As it happens, I finished paying the federal, and am actually expecting a refund - since the ex is responsible for the state, can they still seize my federal refund? If yes, is there any way to make it stop since the court ordered that the ex is responsible for the debt now? If no, is there anything I should do to assure it does not happen? Thank you |
