Re: back child sopport
You asked which gets first priority against an income tax overpayment refund, back taxes or child support arrears.
Assuming that there even is a refund due the IRS has first claim to the money due on a refund. This is because the IRS is withholding for payment of money on which taxes are due prior. In many cases, a claim filed with the IRS by a parent due an arrearage will get the IRS to loosen its grip.
The IRS has a publication on this topic but the title eludes me. You should be able to find it on the IRS Website.
