IRS wage garnishment (also called wage levy) can take up to 70% of your disposable income, leaving you struggling to pay bills. Our experienced tax attorneys and enrolled agents can quickly stop garnishment, release it, and negotiate a resolution to get your full paycheck back.
What Is IRS Wage Garnishment?
Wage garnishment is a legal process where the IRS orders your employer to withhold a portion of your paycheck and send it directly to the IRS until your tax debt is paid.
- Up to 70% of disposable income (after taxes and mandatory deductions)
- Applies to federal tax debts only (not state taxes unless separate action)
- Continues until the debt is resolved or the garnishment is released
Consequences of Wage Garnishment
