It depends on a few things.
the first and probably most important thing is:
Is the person that owes the 8000 married?
If yes, does the person he is married to have a job ?
IF yes, the person that is owed the 3500 will probably get 'some' of the return but if the person that OWES the money has a spouse who files what is known to the IRS as 'injured spouse', then the IRS will not touch her portion of the 3500 refund that they are expecting. I dont know how they determine which portion is his and which is hers.
This is only if she knows to file that. She might not and if not then the person who is owed the 8k will probably get the entire 3500....(I dont know how that works if the person files for one of those H & R block anticipation loans...) that should be a whole lot of fun for them to try to figure out. In the interest of the kids, I hope that the money does get taken.
********
Now all of this is not a factor if there is no judgement entered against you in court. Meaning that if 'you' are owed 8k but there is no judgement entered in court, then the IRS cannot take your taxes to make you pay it (yet?).

Only if there is a lien on your taxes. At this point, with you being so far behind you should already have received a notice saying that your taxes will be offset to pay back child support.
If there isnt one, then by all means you should at least take half, if not all of it to apply to the case. I am saying this because if you dont pay it off, every year they will take your money, you can lose your license, no passport, no student loans, nothing. You wont be eligible for much. So my advice is to take care of the past due. If yo uare working then it shouldnt be a problem.

Unlike the other cretins, I'll give the benefit of the doubt that whatever circumstances lead to your situation were not totally in your control....that being said, if you are paying child support through the state now as a garnishment, then you may be held liable for not paying that money. More than likely you are not claiming your child as a dependent. If you did need to give them the money, it would be because the debt you owe, not because the child is entitled to it. They know about it, and it may look unfavorably if you do not make some sort of payment toward your debt. It will look as if you are not making a concerted effort to repay your obligation. Will they automatically take it? Not sure

Contact the local bureau of child support enforcement. If you have an attorney they can also file a judgment against his wages both regular and taxes. My daughter had it done and his tax checks went to repay his back support. Good luck.

8000 wow did you fall back on your c.s. or was the judge a ***** i think they might take it as taxes are looked at as extra and if you owe 8 grand then they might say to let the children get it
and child support is a ***** as is the judge

If you are asking if child services will take your refund, you got it! They probably will. Remember, these are precious children and you have the responsibility to take care of them.
If you are asking if it changes your return, it won't make any difference on your return at all because child support isn't taxable to the recipient or a deduction to the payee.
Not sure what you are asking

If there is a court judgement against you, then the answer is "Yes", the IRS will withhold your refund for back payment of child support.

I believe so, guess you should have payed your child support on time. Besides even if you get that money you should pay it towards your child support because if you don't pay you'll go to jail. So what is worse?

they most likely will. They should. If you're getting a $3500 income taxt check, you obviously work and therefore should be paying child support anyhow!

Your federal income tax return will be confiscated and applied toward your outstanding child support debt.
