Currently the loans are with collection agencies and they are threatening to garnish out tax return. We normally fill jointly and I planned on doing the same this year because my wife is a stay at home mom and did not make one cent this year so no W2s. Can they go after my return since we filled jointly? I am not on any student loans my wife has and didn't even know her when she took them out. -
