    Wage Garnishment

    At Tax Network USA, we understand that receiving a notice of wage garnishment can be overwhelming and stressful. Wage garnishment occurs when the IRS or state tax authorities take a portion of your paycheck directly from your employer to satisfy unpaid tax debts. This can severely impact your ability to manage daily expenses and lead to further financial difficulties. Our team of experienced tax attorneys is here to help you navigate this challenging situation and work toward a resolution that protects your financial well-being.

    Understanding Wage Garnishment

    Wage garnishment is a legal process that allows the IRS or state tax agencies to collect unpaid taxes directly from your wages. Typically, you will receive several notices before garnishment begins, including a final notice of intent to levy. Once garnishment starts, a significant portion of your income may be withheld, making it difficult to cover essential expenses like rent, utilities, and groceries. Our tax attorneys are here to help!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Tax Network USA Offers These Types of Tax Solutions:

    What is a tax wage garnishment?

    IRS wage levy or Wage Garnishment is when the Internal Revenue Service legally takes money directly from your paycheck to satisfy taxes owed. The IRS contacts your employer and demands a percentage to be paid them for your unpaid taxes.

    If you are currently being garnished or you have received a letter of intent, it’s best to have a tax lawyer or enrolled agent help you exercise your rights.

    Will the IRS garnish me without notice?

    No. You have the right to due process. In other words, The IRS will not start garnishing your wages without giving you notice and an opportunity to make payment arrangements.

    But, unlike most other creditors, it does not have to first use you and get a judgment in order to start the garnishment process.

    How long until the IRS garnishes my wages?

    It can take from 11 to 25 weeks from the time you get the first IRS notice asking for payment to when the IRS issues a wage levy. But, if you have an IRS revenue officer assigned to your case, that timeline can speed up significantly.

    Can I appeal a wage garnishment?

    Yes. You have the legal right to appeal a Wage Garnishment, but you must act quickly as the IRS can start seizing your assets within 30 days of sending the notice. In most cases, it is recommended to have a licensed tax professional on your side when presenting and filing appeals.

    How much can the IRS take through a wage garnishment ?

    Generally, the IRS will take 25 to 50% of your disposable income until the taxes are paid. Disposable income is the amount left after legally required deductions such as taxes and Social Security (FICA).

    How long can the IRS garnish your wages?

    In most circumstances, the IRS can continue to withhold money from your earnings until the entire debt is satisfied. If you owe a significant debt, it may take you years to pay off your default. Not to mention the high interest rates and penalties for garnishments.
