You owe back taxes to the state will they take THE federal return?

Yes your state debt will be deducted from your federal return From the IRS website: Your refund may be reduced to pay a past due obligation such as child support, another federal agency debt, or state income tax If this applies to you, the Financial Management Service, who issues IRS refunds, will send you a notice informing you of any offset they have made.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
