I'm a stay at home mom filing a injured spouse form. My husband owes back child support. Will I get a refund?

My income is minimal for last year and didn't pay much in taxes. From what I've read is that the eic will be based on income. I don't think its fair that my baby will give his ex-wife a big fat tax return check. What about the rebate checks that are coming, I guess she'll get that too. I need the money for my family! What can I do?I'm a stay at home mom filing a injured spouse form. My husband owes back child support. Will I get a refund?
Yes EIC is based on income earned. Child support is not deductible for the one paying it and it is not claimed as income earned by the receiving it.





As for the rebate check. If you make more than 3,000 dollars in the year 2007 then you will the minimum of a $300 rebate.


Whoever claims the child on the 2007 income tax return will get an additional $300.I'm a stay at home mom filing a injured spouse form. My husband owes back child support. Will I get a refund?
filing the innocent/injured spouse form should save part of the refund for you -maybe half - not sure exactly how much
Myesha j... NO! WHY dont YOU be a step parent and deal with what we have to deal with. You prolly dont have any clue what its like. Especially in our economy. NOONE said ANYTHING about not wanting to support their kids or that they didnt deserve to be supported! Supporting his kids? They have a baby TOO! What makes his kids any more valuable than theirs together? ALL KIDS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF!! Yes even the new baby. How do you know she doesnt work she said minimal income and who said she was asking for handouts? And just to enlighten you.... child support can get behind for many different reasons, such as medical, lay offs etc. its a MISCONCEPTION that ALL NON-CUSTODIAL PARENTS DONT WANT TO PAY. For example: What if he gets hit by a car and has major surgry and cant work...that because he doesnt want to pay?some things are out of our control. Who expects a lay off? Eat your own words. Dont critize until you walked in a someone elses shoes.

My apologies sunshine. No its not fair. hubbys ex has 3 kids 3 different dads and she lives with her B/F. She lets him claim one and she claims the other two, they both file head of household so they both get EIC PLUS she gets hubbys return and her other exs return. They get back like 10K between the two of them. Its a crock of crap! Meanwhile we have two girls here at home who are just as deserving as they are, we deal with it though. We bust hump TO PAY our bills and keep up with FOC and we still lose in the end. Thats FOC for you. 10K why does our daughter look like crap everytime we see her....between support and returns, that child should have college savings in addition to descent cloths!!





Yes you can still get a portion of your taxes back. I have done this for years now! What happens is your file your return as normal, bit file an ';injured spouse form'; What ever percentage of taxes you personally paid in is the percentage of taxes you should get back out of your retuen. They use an income allocation table to figure it. It basically releases you from being financially responsible for his back support, unless you legally adopted hubbys kids.





Hubby has back support and they are offsetting his taxes. I never adopted the kids therefore im not finacially responsible for them. I still get back a small chunk but nothing near the total. The thing with injured spouse forms is it delays getting your return back. It wouldnt do you any good to rapid refund them, the injured spouse will tie it up for processing reasons.


The other option is to file married seperately but then you lose any EIC credits. Either way it kills your return but at least your getting something back.

If you didn't personally have much income, the injured spouse form won't make much difference. And she's getting the big check because of the overdue child support payments - it's money she had coming to her before this. Sorry, but not much of anything you can do.
As you search around the Internet, you see links to websites and such, almost screaming at you ';MAKE MONEY ONLINE!'; and what do you do? Well, you already know, from clicking on those links before, that all they want is money. Now that doesn't make any sense at all now does it? How are you supposed to make money, if you have to pay for it? Seems like a lost cause to me. Personally, I hate programs such as that, and I would never suggest something like that to you. But hey, if you're looking to make some money online, 100% free, then this is what you've been looking for.

My experience with owed child support in the state of Missouri. They never tried to get the federal return. The state refund they will grab it if you owe and make you pay the balance to the state that you owe.





The federal gov will only look at the child support issue if you are trying to get a pas port and you owe more than $1000.





I hope this information helps.





Good luck
The injured spouse form only works if you had some income. If you had no recordable income at all. You cannot file this form. Now you did say minimal income for last year, so I'm assuming you had at least a little bit. The injured spouse form is all about percentages, and what your returns would have looked like if you would have filed seperately. You will still get some money back for your share since you are filling this form, but if you husband makes all the money, it won't be a very big portion of your total return. Also, keep in mind, an injured spouse form takes time. It will be at least 2 or 3 months before they finalize everything %26amp; send you your share, so be patient.





Now as far as the rebate checks, it depends on how much back support your husband has. Since you are filing the injured spouse form, you will automatically get your share of the tax rebate check. If you husbands tax return takes care of all of his back support, or gets it below $500, then he will get his rebate check too, not child support. If his back support is still over $500 when the rebate checks get sent out, child support will take that too.





Honestly there is nothing else you can do. As long as he has back support of $500 or more, they will always take his tax return. You can always get your share back, if you had income, but his is spoken for so to speak. I know it sucks.
