Not Unless It Was Court Ordered. Child Support & Student Loans Can Be.
ANSWER: If a garnishment order is sent by the courts to garnish your wages your employer will most likely comply with the order. If some nut bag creditor tries to garnish your federal taxes it is unlikely the IRS will comply. As far as the IRS is concerned is that is their money and they intend to keep it.

Can a creditor take possession of your home or vehicle?
If the creditor is attempting to make a recovery on a secured loan and the property is the security of that loan, then yes, definately; however, to do so the creditor must seek a judgment to secure the repossession or foreclosure. It is possible in some states that a court can order the liquidation of property to cover payment of debts under judgment. If a creditor is attempting to take possession of your property and there has been no ajudication (court proceedings), they may be attempting to act in an illegal manner. Just be very certain that no judgment has been entered before you try to prevent the recovery. Most creditors are willing to work with debtors in the resolution of loans. Contact the creditor and find out the current status of the property.
