Does tax refund count as income for food stamps? Yes, the IRS considers tax refunds as income. This means that if you receive a tax refund, it will be counted as income when determining your eligibility for food stamps. The amount of your tax refund will affect the amount of food stamps you receive.
If you are applying for food stamps, you will need to report your tax refund as income. You can do this by providing a copy of your tax return or by providing a statement from the IRS that shows the amount of your refund. If you do not report your tax refund, you may be ineligible for food stamps or you may receive a lower amount of benefits.
