If I owe back IRS taxes am presently in a financial hardship status but just have been awarded social security disability and am waiting for back payments can the IRS attach these payments or take all of the back payments

If the Social Security disability back payments are large, then, yes, the IRS CAN attach those payments up to certain amount. It depends on your overall financial situation as to HOW MUCH they can take.
