The government has decided that my tax returns will be used towards the $2500 I owe them due to them sending me benifits for college even after I had dropped out. I told them when I dropped out and they were supposed to stop sending me checks for $606 that I was getting monthly due to my father being a disabled Vietnam vet, but they never stopped coming in and I never stopped cashing them.
It's totally my fault and I suppose I owe them, although they would likely never get their money had they not started to attaching my tax returns, because they know legally they have no leg to stand on and in civil court it would cost them more than I owed to prosecute me, and I guess they were not willing to risk losing so they took the path of least resistance and hit me where it hurt.
Last year I was waiting on a nice $1500 tax return and I notice that it's listed as being processed and is about to be sent to me when bam, refund being withheld, call to find out particulars. I already knew what I was told when I called and here I sit, having to file for my taxes knowing full well my refund is going to be intercepted until the balance is paid off, probably next year.
