Will I be allowed part of my tax refund after being garnished for my student loans

Unfortunately, The Department of Treasury can withhold the entire amount of your refund to satisfy the debt that is owed. 

If your federal student loans are in default, the Department of Education can refer your account to the Department of Treasury for collection by an offset of your federal (and in some cases state) tax returns.
