Hello, my question is concerning a wage levy from the state. Can we claim it on our Federal 1040? If so, how? The amount for the year was substantial. Over 10,000. Thanks in advance!

No. Aslongas you have a delinquent balance, CA FTB may garnish the income owed to you by your employer or for a contracted service. It depends; If the garnishment was for something that is tax deductible, I mean i.e, property taxes or alimony , then you may deduct the amounts recovered though garnishment. Garnishments for business expenses would also be legitimately deductible on the business return or Sch C if you are a Sole owner.
