If I was in an accident where I was at fault and insurance didn’t cover it. Can this be garnished from my federal taxes?

No, Only Federal and State government agencies (not creditors, dept collectors, or individuals) to withhold your refund.

It should be noted that once it goes into your bank account it is fair game to any creditor.
