Do you owe back state tax?

 

The IRS does not take out or pay state tax.    If your bank account has been attached or garnished by the state for back tax then that is between you and the bank and state.    Ask you bank if they have received an attachment order from the state or court.

 

If the IRS deposited too much then the IRS can remove the excess.
