Will a wage garnishment affect a tax refund?

It depends on who garnished your wages to begin with. If it was the taxing authority, your state Dept. of Tax, or the IRS, yes the garnishment will include your tax refunds, if the Agent you're dealing with knows what he's doing. Only the government or a judicial court can take a tax refund away from you. If it is a wage garnishment by any authority it will not effect the tax refund. That isn't to say tax authorities won't take the refund...they will (actually, well before they even bother coming after wages). But they do that under a process/law I believe normally called claim of right or offset, not the wage garnishment. Wage garnishment are directed at a specific employer and payroll.

It can be if the garnishment was by a government entity. If the garrnishment was by court order in favor a a private entity it cannot. CAVEAT: If the refund is direct-deposited into your bank account it has then been "converted" to your private funds and the garnishment can be made against assets contained in the bank account.
