    Yes the refund from a tax return where you filed as Married Filing Jointly can be seized for a debt of a spouse.

     

    You should have filed a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation with your federal tax return so that a portion or all of the refund would not be seized.

    See this TurboTax support FAQ for a Form 8379 - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/accessing/help/how-do-i-file-form-8379-injured-spouse-allocation/01/26228
