irs took my tax refund to pay my student loans

did you default? I'd go to your employer and increase your exemptions on your w-2 form.

Wow, wonder if they are doing this to other people ? Were you overdue for your payments ?

The County got mine to pay my property taxes.

Seriously? Whats next, taking it for the magazine subscription you didnt pay for?

This is a bunch if bullshit I was depending on that money, I only work part time for non profit organization. I did not have any money to pay back to my student loan I was waiting until I got caught up to start to repay, now I'm screwed big time, my daughter just got a root canal she needed permanent tooth cost is 1200 dollars and to pay for rest of braces and other expenses that I can't afford to do the whole year. I can't believe they would take my wholevrefund just like that I still cant believe they would be so cruel, I mean why couldn't they take a portion? But no the whole thing.

What a great idea!

Yes I did.

They did that to my wife before we were married

I was over due. I have to get forbearance every year because I can't find a better job I have tried and am still trying. But I am poor not rich and this really sucks.

It's terrible what is happening in this country...I am so sorry OP

There is no breaks for anyone. My life is Murphy's Law.

Ever considered working harder to make more money and PAY OFF YOUR DEBT???

You took a loan your ass belongs to wall street banks.

interest acummulates & you will never be able to pay for it ..

solution move to canada or UK , they got free medical care
along with cuba and Venezuela ...

yes , capitalism haves a price (start paying it )

If you increase your exemptions to w/hold more, the IRS will keep taking until you are current.

The IRS didn't take your refund knowing you were thinking of spending it on dental for your kids

Get 2 volunteer jobs the second can pay for your dental


Did you tell them you would pay them back only if you didn't other priorities when you borrowed the money?

Yes it is terrible. What can one do? Not a whole lot. Just keep going and do the best you can.

Maybe you could pull some strings and get him a job on Wall Street.

By the way what in the hell you graduated from you cant get a job? , alternate energy scientist-engineer ?

Get in line & keep searching ! you are screwd !

Never borrow money, it never brings happiness and always brings stress...

Yes I know the IRS doesn't know what I'm going to do with it but I do owe the money for student loans. I am considered lucky to have the job I have period. I have tried to look for more work, I try every day even asking people if they know anyone I can clean there house for or do errands believe me I try. My boss told us the other day that there are hundreds of people with master degrees who are applying for my job which doesn't require any degree. I live in Los Angeles. The IRS should know that I have three kids and how much I make to have sense not to basically take from the needy because I consider that refund part of my income to live on.

I would love to work harder but there is no jobs for me. But mayby obe of these days I will get lucky.

I have a job, but it's only part time. Yes your right I am screwed.

Sorry, OP. This scenario sucks, and if fucking pisses me off.

The government is taking an INTEREST FREE loan from all of us, yet YOU are not refunded what is YOURS.

Fuck them.

Thanks to obama we lost $800 this year and gained .30.cents
a pay day

I have degree in criminal justice.

That's a good one! Thanks.

they leant you the money, you spent it, now it is time to pay the piper. sounds fair to me. but watch out, they will take your house and car too, it's the government, they do what they want.

I'll never understand why people WANT to get a big refund back on their taxes.

My goal is to come as close to getting ZERO back as possible without having to owe anything.

....any refund you get is just the gov't giving you back YOUR money that THEY used all year without paying you ANY interest on it.

Yes , I know right? Sucks ass!

How high AD? BS? You should be able to get on with a local PD with just an associates. What field are you looking in?
