    You can get the details of the garnishment by contacting the IRS.

    Also, expect them to also garnish any STATE tax refund as well.

    You can call the Treasury offset line and it will tell you if your SS# is on record for offset, You can only check for yourself (It is illegal to check someone else's SS#). The number is 800-304-3107
