Garnishment by IRS (Tax Law)

Mon, 20 May 2002 14:16:00 GMT

I live in Louisiana. The LA Dept of Revenue garnished my paycheck for an error that I made on my 1996 ($275) and 1997 ($50.0 taxes. They did this through my employer (our home office is in another city). I was not notified either by the Dept of Revenue or my employer by phone or in writing prior to this taking place. Is this lega? Is there anything that I can do about this. I don't even know what kind of error I made on my taxes. Thanks.

    **A: Why are you asking us rather than the LA Dept. of Rev?
