My husband's wages are being garnished....?

My husband%26#039;s wages are being garnished for defaulted school loans. We filed jointly, can they do both: keep our federal tax return, garnish his wages? They have already kept our state return.

You can call the US Treasury Dept. 1閳?00閳?04閳?107. This will let you know if you have a Federal Debt.that is due to be offset.

If you were not married to your husband when he got his Student Loans, you may not be responsible, you can then file an Injured Spouse Form 8379 to recoup your loss.

good luck %26amp; blessing

They can keep your return because student loans are government issued. They can also garnish his wages until balance is paid off.

My husband%26#039;s wages are being garnished....?

Yes. File separately. Have him begin a repayment plan. There are companies who will help take someone out of default -- a couple are Southwest Student Loans and Sallie Mae and there are others, just do a web search. Once a loan is re-assumed, the default status goes away and not subject to tax returns or garnishment.

Yes they can do that. The only way out of garnishment is to work out a settlement agreement with the owner of the school loan. If they have done this already before he defaulted, they may not want to make a deal.

My husband%26#039;s wages are being garnished....?

Yes, they can do both.

HOWEVER, you can file a form called the %26#039;injured spouse%26#039; form. It may allow you (not your husband) to collect 1/2 of the refund to which you would be entitled because YOU were not responsible for his defaulted loans.

You should file the injured spouse form at the time you file your return.

My husband%26#039;s wages are being garnished....?

Yes they can. If part of your refund is due to your earnings and withholding, you can file an injured spouse form, and they won%26#039;t take your portion of the federal refund for his debts.
