State tax garnishment

[pcal509]

What is the name of your state? South Carolina
My question is: What must the South Carolina Department of Revenue do to properly and legally garnish state income taxes from the pay of an individual in a tax dispute with the state? Is it necessary for the Dept. of Rev. to obtain a court order? Should the individual be notified prior to any garnishment and have an opportunity to appeal the Dept. of Rev. decision to order the employer to garnish wages?

Call the department of revenue and ask them for the statute numbers and/or administrative rules for this sort of thing.

Then read the cites they gave you....
