They will take the entire tax refund if you owe that much. And they will do that every year until the loan is paid.
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, especially since I would have received $6,500, but I am also glad I had this resolved!

FMS sends you an offset notice when this happens. You can call the Treasury Offset Program Call Center (1-800-304-3107) for specific questions about your defaulted student loan.
