Unfortunately, there is not a universal answer to this question. Each state has its own laws governing an employer's ability to garnish an employee's paycheck due to money missing. Some states allow it, some states don't. So, it depends on the state in which you live. The federal government does not have a law that either allows or prohibits employers from deducting missing money from an employee's paycheck.

How are income taxes collected?

Income taxes are collected through withholding (money the employer takes out of your pay and sends to the federal or state tax agencies) and direct payments (the taxpayer sends a check or money order). If taxes are owed and the taxpayer has not paid, then (just like any other debt) they will garnish your bank accounts, paycheck, refunds, etc.
