I received a continuing garnishment on someone who does contract work for me.  I do not hold out taxes  because this person is considered to be self-employed.  There is no set amount as the work is paid for according to what is done, nor is it an every week event.  How do I respond to this first anwer?  I do not owe this person anything at this time.  And when I do contract work, am I supposed to hold all their money or a percentage of it?

If the person is not "employed" by you, you have no obligation to withhold on a garnishment.
 
Simply respond that this person is self employed, you owe them nothing at this time, and you feel you received this garnishment order in error.

First of course is he a 1099 worker,  Is the work they are doing qualify for this,  or should they be a real employee.
 
If you are paying them under the table, and they should be a employee, then you may be held liable for correct garnishment,  if they are a real 1099 employee, you may or may not have to do the garnishment
