when does the IRS withhold garnished wages from the employee, is it before or after tax deductions?

February 19th, 2010

My friend found on his check stub that it said "ATT1" under after-tax deductions. He’s wondering if his wages are garnished? Would it be under "tax dedutions"? or under "after-tax deductions"?

    It is withheld from net pay.

    Garnishes are taken after required taxes are withheld and before deductions that aren’t legally required like insurance and 401k deductions.

    Garnishments would be an after-tax deduction. His payroll department can tell him what the deduction is for.

    Tax will be withheld from the amount garnished. It is your taxable income.

    The IRS does not garnish wages for private debts. Your friend needs to ask his employer’s payroll dept. what the deduction is.
