If you got unemployment in 2012 you do have to file taxes if you didn't have the taxes taken out of the unemployment you received.
Unemployment benefits are not deducted from payroll checks in any of the states. The businesses pays the premiums through payroll taxes to the state, which, in turn, pays the benefits to its recipients.
You didn't say what state you live in. Where I live, they let you decide whether you want them to take out taxes or not.
Depending on the state, if it is overpayment of benefits due the state then probably yes. Otherwise, unemployment taxes are levied against the employers, not the employees so there would be no garnishment in that case.
