    Income Tax Issue with New York State
    My only source of income is Social Security.

    However, I owe taxes to New York State for personal income taxes from prior years.

    Can New York State levy / garnish my Social Security funds to collect the tax monies I owe?

    Thank you!

    NOT if the Social Security is your only source of income and you can show that any levy on the Social Security payments would cause you significant financial harm.
