The IRS is taking money directly from your paycheck. Our tax attorneys can stop wage garnishment and protect your income.
What Is IRS Wage Garnishment?
IRS wage garnishment (also called wage levy) is when the IRS legally requires your employer to withhold a portion of your paycheck and send it directly to them to pay off your tax debt. Unlike other creditors who can only take a small percentage, the IRS can take a substantial portion of your wages, leaving you with barely enough to cover basic living expenses.
How Much Can the IRS Take?
The IRS can garnish a significant portion of your wages based on your filing status and number of dependents. For many taxpayers, this means the IRS can take 70% or more of your paycheck, leaving you with very little to live on.
Example: If you're single with no dependents and earn $1,000 per week, the IRS could take up to $800, leaving you with only $200 for rent, food, and other expenses.
How IRS Wage Garnishment Works
IRS Sends Notice
The IRS sends you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing at least 30 days before garnishing your wages.
IRS Contacts Your Employer
If you don't respond, the IRS sends a levy notice to your employer, requiring them to withhold money from your paycheck.
Garnishment Begins
Your employer must comply with the levy and start withholding money from your paycheck. The garnishment continues until the debt is paid or the levy is released.
How Our Tax Attorneys Stop Wage Garnishment
Our experienced tax lawyers know exactly how to negotiate with the IRS to release wage garnishments quickly. We use proven strategies to protect your income:
Immediate Release Request
We contact the IRS immediately to request a levy release based on financial hardship, showing that the garnishment prevents you from meeting basic living expenses.
Installment Agreement
We negotiate an affordable monthly payment plan with the IRS. Once approved, the wage garnishment is released, and you make manageable payments instead.
Offer in Compromise
If you qualify, we can negotiate to settle your tax debt for less than you owe. The IRS will release the garnishment while your offer is being processed.
Currently Not Collectible Status
We can prove that paying the IRS would cause financial hardship, temporarily halting all collection activities including wage garnishment.
Collection Due Process Hearing
If you received a levy notice within the last 30 days, we can request a hearing to challenge the garnishment and explore alternative solutions.
Bankruptcy Protection
In some cases, filing bankruptcy can immediately stop wage garnishment through an automatic stay, giving you time to reorganize your finances.

✓ DO: Contact a Tax Attorney Immediately
Time is critical. A tax attorney can help you respond quickly and explore options to stop the garnishment before it starts or shortly after.
✓ DO: Request a Collection Due Process Hearing
If you received the Final Notice within the last 30 days, you have the right to request a hearing to challenge the levy and propose alternatives.
✗ DON'T: Ignore the Notice
Ignoring IRS notices will not make them go away. The garnishment will proceed, and you'll lose a significant portion of your income.
✗ DON'T: Try to Negotiate Alone
The IRS is not on your side. Without professional representation, you may miss opportunities for better solutions or make statements that hurt your case.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wage Garnishment
Can the IRS garnish my entire paycheck?
The IRS can take a substantial portion of your paycheck, often 70% or more, depending on your filing status and dependents. They must leave you with a minimal amount for basic living expenses, but this is often not enough to cover rent, food, and other necessities.
How long does wage garnishment last?
IRS wage garnishment continues until your tax debt is paid in full or the levy is released. This could be months or even years if you don't take action. Our tax attorneys can help you stop the garnishment and set up an affordable payment plan.
Will my employer know about my tax problems?
Yes, the IRS sends the levy notice directly to your employer, so they will know you have unpaid taxes. This can be embarrassing and may affect your job. Acting quickly to resolve the issue can minimize the impact on your employment.
Can I stop wage garnishment if it's already started?
Yes! Even if the garnishment has already begun, our tax attorneys can work to get it released by negotiating a payment plan, proving financial hardship, or pursuing other resolution options. The sooner you act, the sooner we can stop the garnishment.
