Dealing with an IRS Wage Garnishment: What You Need to Know

Imagine this scenario: 30 days ago, you received a notice of “Intent to Levy” from the IRS, but you either forgot about it or chose to ignore it. Now, it’s payday, and instead of your expected paycheck, you find that the IRS has taken a significant portion of your wages. What’s left isn’t enough to cover your rent, car payments, groceries, or other bills. Worse yet, this will continue with every paycheck until your tax debt is paid in full.

This situation can quickly spiral into a major financial crisis. No matter how much you plead with your employer, they can’t help you. Once the IRS files a wage garnishment with your employer, your employer must legally withhold a large percentage of your paycheck. Unfortunately, this garnishment will continue until your entire tax liability, including penalties and interest, is settled.

But there is a way out. At Quantum Tax Strategies, we regularly help clients negotiate the release of IRS wage garnishments. Our team works directly with the IRS to arrange payment plans that are far more favorable than wage garnishments. We can stop the garnishment by negotiating a payment plan on your behalf and ensure you receive your full paycheck moving forward. With a plan in place, you can avoid future garnishments and regain control over your finances.
