Federal taxes owed and paid for prior tax years are not reported on nor deductible on a federal tax return.  Penalties and interest are also not deductible.

If things have gone so far that the government is garnisheeing your wages, you need to consult a tax professional to straighten out your tax situation for the past years. Most tax professionals probably won't even talk to you until after July 15, but go as soon after that as you can.
