Yes.
Can credit card companies that take you to civil court garnish your wages or income tax return if you lose in the lawsuit
The government has just garnished my 2008 federal tax return due to my student loan being defaulted. My student loan dates back to 2005. It was very inconvenient to have my return garnished,...
They can keep it all.
Generally not directly from the IRS (unless they are collecting a tax debt)...but that doesn't mean that once you receive it they can't.
It depends on what state you live in . I live in Florida
