I have a Student loan forbearance. Can my tax refund still be taken by goverment?

I got approved for a hardship forbearance on my student loan.Can the government still hold my tax refund to go towards my balance due on my loans or will i get my refund because i didn’t default on my loan

No. The government will only take refunds when the loan is in default. Since you were very smart and applied for a forbearance instead of not paying the loans, your refund will not be taken.

  1. No not if you are on forebearance. I am currently on forebearance and have been for a few being now and they do not take my refund.
