Yes, the IRS could withhold your taxes if there is a judgment against you. If you are sued for back child support, for example, your refund could be given directly to the other parent.

Can an employer take taxes out of your paycheck if you did not fill out a tax form?

Yes. Form W-4 (Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate) gives the information that your employer needs to calculate the correct amount of taxes (income, Medicare, Social Security) to withhold from your earnings. If you don't fill out a W-4 form, then the IRS requires your employer to withhold taxes at the highest rate, which is Single with no dependent allowances.

Can you get a US passport if you owe the IRS and what if you already have a passport will you be denied to leave or return to the US if you owe the IRS for back taxes?

If you owe back taxes to the IRS and the IRS is currently trying to collect from you, you need to resolve your tax issue. The IRS will not stop you from abtaining a passpert or leaving the country unless you are being ivestigated criminally. That would be the work of the CID division of the IRS. They investigate taxpayers who are criminally negligent for defraudung the IRS or criminally negligent on back taxes. Hopefully you are not in this situation. A resolution is an agreement between you and the IRS to pay back the taxes you owe. As long as you have a resolution the IRS will not enforce collections against you.
