We're only talking about the current tax year's refund/balance due here. You can't choose to auto-direct a refund from one, to the taxes owed to the other, on your normal tax filing.

A garnisheed situation is for past taxes due where you have forced the IRS or State to go thru a legal process to garnishee the taxes you owe ........ because you failed to pay them what you owed at some time long ago, and then, they also usually attach extra penalties and interest to those overdue taxes as a result.
