Notification of Interception

Notification of Interception of Income Tax Refunds

The Third Party Withholding Unit notifies the court, the plaintiff and/or plaintiff's attorney, and the defendant that an income tax refund is being withheld for offset. If the Third Party Withholding Unit is not notified within 28 days the garnishment has been released or satisfied, the intercepted tax refund or credit will be released to the plaintiff.

Notifications will begin being mailed out mid-January when the State of Michigan Individual Income Tax Department begins processing taxpayer returns.

No garnishment disclosure will be sent if no refund or credit is intercepted by October 31 of the tax processing year.
