back of the garage is currently in the easement.
The survey is attached for the home. The garage is on the lot, but the back of the garage is currently in the easement.
I gotthis from my realtor today on a sfh that I put an offer on and it was accepted.
should I back out of the purchase?
what should I do? will appreciate any ideas.

I think you need more info to make the decision. How much of the back of the garage is in the easement? What kind of easement is it, i.e. electrical, access, gas, etc...? Do you have a contingency in the contract for a survey? If you are attached to this deal & you want to make it work, I wouldn't say run as fast as you can, but I would proceed with caution. If you are putting in all kinds of offers on anything you see & this is just another deal, walk away.
