Frequently Asked Questions
A garnishment release letter is sent when:
- The garnishment listed in the letter has been paid in full
- A taxpayer enters into an Installment Payment Agreement to pay off a garnishment.
The garnishment release letter only applies to the garnishment detailed in the letter.
The period and tax type of the garnishment being released are detailed in the notice.
If you have other garnishments, those may still be in effect.
Your employer should return any amounts to you that they are still holding. The Department will refund any overpayments we receive directly to you.
But, if you have other debts with the Department, the IRS, or another State agency, your overpayment will be applied to those debts.
