If there is a tax return.
Yes, call your local Department of Human Services, child support division, and ask them. If you owed back child support and were entitled to a state or federal tax return, it's likely that it was garnished to pay back your debt.
Any money designated as taxable income is subject to garnishment for child support.
I presume you mean your return showed a "refund" of 1079. Presuming your back child support is in their system, and it is more than the refund, the entire refund will be applied against it. Any reason it shouldn't be?
Ask for it back.
You need to return to the court that issued the order and follow its instructions.
Your local family (civil) court is where you must file for child support arrears. If there is a child support order you must return to that court to file a contempt of court order.Your local family (civil) court is where you must file for child support arrears.

It's possible.
Generally you cannot unless there are extenuating circumstances. Some examples of such are if the father was not able to be found and/or a paternity test had not been taken to prove who fathered the minor child.
