a tax return. Insteasd of getting your refund, the IRS sent you a
letter saying that your refund was used (garnished) to satisfy your
back tax debt. What is going on? This means that you have a back
tax liablility with the IRS and the IRS will take your refund to
satidfy that debt. If you got your refund check garnished and you
were unaware you owed the IRS, you need to take care of this
situation fast. The IRS can start enforced collections against you
and go as far as garnishment of your pay and levy your bank
accounts. You can find out more at
