A few weeks ago, with no notice, the U.S. government intercepted Mary Grices tax refunds from both the IRS and the state of Maryland. Grice had no idea that Uncle Sam had seized her money until some days later, when she got a letter saying that her refund had gone to satisfy an old debt to the government a very old debt. When Grice was 4, back in 1960, her father died, leaving her mother with five children to raise. Until the kids turned 18, Sadie Grice got survivor benefits from Social Security to help feed and clothe them.
Now, Social Security claims it overpaid someone in the Grice family its not sure who in 1977. After 37 years of silence, four years after Sadie Grice died, the government is coming after her daughter. Why the feds chose to take Marys money, rather than her surviving siblings, is a mystery.
Across the nation, hundreds of thousands of taxpayers who are expecting refunds this month are instead getting letters like the one Grice got, informing them that because of a debt they never knew about often a debt incurred by their parents the government has confiscated their check.
Two months ago, Mary Grice, a career employee at the Food and Drug Administration, was notified the U.S. Treasury had confiscated her state and federal tax refunds totaling $4,500.
She's suing and will win. A stupidity. ONE. End of story, except for Fox etc and idiot hater dupes...
he government is now going through old records to see if it overpaid people on Social Security. If it thinks it did, it can now seize the IRS tax refund checks of the CHILDREN of those people it thinks it overpaid.
This isn’t a proposal -- it’s already happening. For the past three years, the government has been confiscating hundreds of thousands of Americans’ tax refunds, according to the Washington Post. It has already confiscated $1.9 billion in tax refunds this year alone.
The amazing thing is that the government is doing this even if it has little or no proof and no exact details. And the letters the government sends to unsuspecting taxpayers are frightening, use accusatory language, and include other financial threats.
Nothing surprises me any more.
If it was Republicans, yes. You have to always remember that Democrats have most of the media on their side and people are very influenced by what they see on TV.Will this be what kills any chances for the Democrats to win an election?

Can the government seize your tax refund to pay a relative's debt?

The bill in 2008 allows the debt to be collected past 10 years, however does it allow it to be collected from any of your relatives? Its total BS.
They are desperate for money and will do whatever they can get away with. The IRS is becoming the Gestapo wing of the government.
