Government Guaranteed or isnured ones, yes.
yes and no
yes - it can be garnished for any federal obligations
Not at all
Interest on student loans isn't deductible - regardless of when paid or accrued.
Tax return loans are when an individual borrows an amount of money against their tax return.
The government has just garnished my 2008 federal tax return due to my student loan being defaulted. My student loan dates back to 2005. It was very inconvenient to have my return garnished, especially since I would have received $6,500, but I am also glad I had this resolved!
They will take the entire tax refund if you owe that much. And they will do that every year until the loan is paid.
Not sure who "they" are...but they can use all legal means to collect what you swore you would pay.
100% can be garnished and for as many years as it takes to repay the debt.
Mortgages and Student loans are the only types of loans that are tax deductible.
Federal student loans have no statute of limitation, meaning they can collect forever. The can garnish your wages without taking you to court, take your tax refund, and sue you in court for property and bank accounts. Student loans are also almost impossible to discharge in bankruptcy. There are people now who did not repay their student loans from the 1970s who are having their social security garnished. Not paying is a very bad idea.
They can, and will, take the entirety of your tax return for any outstanding federal debt including student loans and prior year taxes. There is no legal requirement that they return anything to you owe other branches.
