Q: My husband has retroactive child support & has payment plan set up. Can the gov. Take our stimulus ck for our kids?
Also, can they take my portion of the stimulus check if I file as disabled spouse?
A: If he has a payment plan set up and is keeping up with the payments per the plan, the government should not take your check. If for some reason your income tax or any such funds specifically distributed by the IRS is taken away, you can file an injured spouse form to get the amount that is apportioned to you. Please check with your accountant or have a consultation with a local tax attorney. Best of luck to you and your family!
