They didn’t take your dependents refund. They took the money you owe for child support out of your check. It wouldn’t matter if you had no dependents , they’d still take your refund for past due child support. I’ve been doing this for over twenty years., am an Enrolled Agent the dependent has nothing to do with you lack of child support payments to the point of taking a tax refund. It’s back child support that took your refund .
