Q: Child support took my 2016 and 2017 tax refund. Last month Dec 2018 they sent it all back why?
A: There is no way for someone to know that without knowing more about your case. It is possible you overpaid and it was improperly withheld. You need to be the one to keep track of what you owe. Do not count on them to do it. They can make mistakes, just like everyone else, and if you are not there with the correct information to check them, it could end up causing you problems down the road. Be diligent in keeping records of what you've paid.
