    Do you know that you have a lien?

    Generally the IRS will only accept an attachment of your refund for government debt.

    It IS posible for bill collectors to place a lien on your tax return, but it is so long and diifcult and, in the end, so easy to defeat, that most collectors do NOT bother.
