The IRS was actually able to prevent him from accessing his income tax refund. This went on until the student loan amount was completely paid off. The IRS is indeed a very powerful organization.
IRS Garnishment is never an ideal situation for the tax payer. It is however very popular as a method to recoup funds owed to the state. In the case of student … Read more at 2008 Taxes.
