A car dealership is threatening to garnish my employment wages, but can they garnish my federal and state income taxes?

[JohnW15 · Accepted solution]

No.  A private entity can't garnish your state or federal income tax refund, if that's what you're asking.

Please see the IRS' Topic Number 203 - Reduced Refund for additional information.

Yes, that's what I,m asking.  Thank you.

You bet.  Have a great day!
