How do I get my tax refund when owing students. Its been over 7 years can they be forgiven and how do i do that

i am just over 7 years owing for student loan debt that has gone to collections i cant pay it and im on welfare due to illness. I havnt filed taxes in 5 years and the goverment owes me money that the student loans want to take when i file. How can I prevent this from happening? Since it over 7 years i heard the debt can be forgiven is this true and how do I do that so i can get my income tax refund.

The student loan debt can be cleared by filing a bankruptcy if you have been out of school for 7 years or more, but it won’t simply be forgiven. Regardless, the main question was how can you prevent Student Loans from intercepting your tax refunds? The answer is you cannot.
