The IRS can not garnish your unemployment. They usually garnish bank accounts and wages. You can get into a resolution with the IRS and not have to worry about a garnishment at all.

In fact, if your are getting unemployment, let them know and they can list your debt to them as unrecoverable at this time. Once you are working again, you need to call the IRS and they will set up a payment plan for you to get caught up.

Whether garnishment can be taken out of unemployment compensation depends on the state you work in. In general, however, the only garnishment allowed is for spousal or child support.
