Yes, your federal income tax refund can be garnished for both student loans and back taxes simultaneously. The U.S. Department of Treasury can offset your tax refund to satisfy multiple debts, including student loans and federal tax liabilities. However, the total amount garnished will depend on the specific debts and their respective priorities. It's advisable to check with the agencies involved for the exact details of your situation.
