I am disabled and have not filed an income tax since 2005. I recently purchased a house and qualify for a first time homeowners credit of $1000.00. How do I know if anyone (ie. Creditors) will garnish my income tax return? Is there a way I can be assured of my return?

Even if you have judgments outstanding, only the government can seize your tax credit. It could be seized for back child support payments, or overdue student loans.. But, the credit card companies can't touch it.
