Department gave false testimony in a review held on 1/28/13. It was stated in that review that the "Department" had no intention of intercepting my 2012 tax return as there was a payment plan in place and the amount being paid on was just an arrearage balance. Based on this information, it was advised by the mediator <mediator's name removed> that I withdraw my appeal at this time since it was indicated by the Department rep that the State was not going to intercept my taxes. However, in February 2013 it was discovered that the state did indeed intercept my entire tax return with no warning or provacation. I filed another appeal with but it was denied by the state as it says that there is nothing for them to review. As this statement is a matter of record, and based on the actions of the Department, I feel as if my 4th amendment rights have been violoated since it was stated under oath that the state had no intention of taking my taxes and the payment arrangement was accepted by the court. Is this a legal action allowed by the state? A side note, I have not filed taxes on this child in over 7 years. He does not contribute to my household income at all.

The bottom line is going to be that you did in fact owe the money and they are within their right to take it. Do you have it in writing or something signed by a judge that says the "are not" going to take it? If not them saying they didn't intend to leaves them an out. I would never rely on the system and always back up any outstanding statements in writing.

That being said make sure they at least apply the funds correctly. You will be done with it sooner.
