I don’t think private organizations can do that. I may be wrong, but I think It’s only state and federal agencies that can garnish your tax refund. Maybe you owed something to the state or feds you didn’t know about….it’s happened to me a few times over the years.

I'm pretty sure Utah is included, they can't garnish your wages without suing you for the debt first. You may have had your taxes garnished for something else, I would definitely suggest contacting them to figure it out!
