No, it will be intercepted and sent to KY.
Just thought the stimulus package was to help feed our family and keep bills paid
The only intercepts will be for child support. No offset for past due taxes. It is an advance of a 2020 tax credit and it'll be calculated on the 2020 return. If you got too much good for you you don't have to pay it back of offset your 2020 taxes. If you didn't receive enough... Read more »
Per our divorce order he is able to claim 3 kids for taxes. What happens to the kids stimulus checks? They solely live with me and I provide all support.
This is such a new issue that the Courts are trying to figure this issue out right now. It really depends if he is behind on child support. If he claimed the 3 kids this year he may get the money. If I were you I would file a motion with the Court requesting allocation of the stimulus money if he... Read more »
In 2020, I applied for the Homestead Reduction to my property taxes based on 2019 value of my home. I am 67 and earned only Social Security benefits in 2019. My County auditor says they go back to 2018 income. This makes no sense to me. Is it correct? I understand that I pay 2019 taxes in... Read more »
Homestead law is a property law issue, not an income tax issue. The property laws of Ohio control. You need the opinion of an Ohio Lawyer.
I also heard her lawyer say this would be my year and my ex wife claimed our child anyway. I thought claiming in odd number years for tax purposes would mean that I claim 2019 being it’s an odd number year. If that’s the case what do I do? I don’t want to get her in trouble and I have tried... Read more »

My ex lie to that he took care of our tax we own but he file bankruptcy so IRS was coming after me. It is tax for year of 2007. Can they still keep going after me or is there statue of limitation?
There is a 10 year statue of limitations (SOL) on collection. If the taxes were filed late then the SOL may not have passed yet. When your ex-husband filed for bankruptcy that stopped the SOL from running. The SOL stops running until the bankruptcy is discharged plus six months. Without seeing a... Read more »
He wants to still claim one child on his taxes because it is in our agreement. Can he legally do that still?
Under IRS rules you have to fill out and sign a form to allow him to deduct the child. This is because the IRS defines you as the custodial parent.
However, you also have a court order that says he gets to claim the child.
So if you don't send over the form and you deduct the... Read more »
Is residential parent. She has claimed them every year. My question is even though I owe back support is she legally allowed to claim them or shall I claim them and her receive my return? Is she in contempt? The IRS audited me for claiming my children. Is there a statue for this and what is it?
If you're not current on support she can claim them. The IRS rules and your domestic orders will not be the same.
If you come current and she still refuses to sign the proper documents to allow you to claim the dependents. Your relief is to file a contempt action in domestic court.... Read more »

He said he can be charged with a federal crime for Tax Fraud and I want to make sure that... Read more »
The ability to claim you as a dependent is not related to whether you're in high school. The question is did he provide over one half of your support.
understand that 20% will be with held at time of distribution. They said there may also be another 10% liability at tax time but they can't say for sure. How does that work?
Funds distributed from a retirement account before age 59 1/2 are subject to an early withdrawal penalty of 10%.
There are exceptions but none apply to basic living expenses.

This question involves too many very important interrelated questions to expect definitive answers from lawyers on this forum. You should consult an immigration lawyer and a tax lawyer because either area of law could affect the outcome in the other area.
