Question

I paid IRS wage garnishments in 2020. Is this considered taxes paid for the tax year? These are taxes paid via wage garnishment, but not sure if they are taxes paid?

Can the taxes paid from wage garnishment be included (added) to taxes paid from withholding, thus increasing taxes paid for the tax year (2020)?

Q. Can the taxes paid from wage garnishment be included (added) to taxes paid from withholding?

A. No. Federal income tax paid for past years is not deductible and is not reported on the current year federal tax return.

State income tax paid for past years is deductible, on the federal return; but only for taxpayers who itemized deductions.

it depends on who is taking your money, the IRS or your State.
