In July of last year, my daughter's mother closed the child support case with the Sacramento County D.A.'s office so I could pay her directly. Which I have done every month. I have receipts and canceled checks to show for it. I found out today when I checked the status of my case that she went back on state aid in November of last year, without my knowledge. She claims it was only for a month, and that there was an error in their office. I have been paying her directly during this period of time. I changed employers shortly after she closed the original case, so the county had no current employer information for me. Since they couldn't garnish any wages, there is now a balance owed to the County of Sacramento for child support not paid into their system, owed because she was on state aid.

They have already seized my state return, can they take my federal return as well? If so, can I get that money back from them after I prove that I have been paying her directly all this time?
