    Not likely. The debt collectors CAN get a garnishment order on your tax refund, but it is a long and expensive process, and the amount of money recovered in this process is limited because the taxpayer will adjust his/her withholdings to PAY taxes come April 15th rather than get a refund.

    For these reasons, most debt collectors do not bother.
