IRS Wage Garnishment
Wage Garnishment:
Can you afford to live on 50% of your paycheck? Probably not. When the IRS or a State has failed to collect back taxes, they will begin to seize assets. If phone calls and letters are not returned, they will take the next step. This process is called a “levy.” The taxing authorities are legally allowed to seize bank accounts, demand payment from accounts receivable, take control of property for auction, and assume titles on vehicles. Virtually anything of value can be seized to satisfy the outstanding debt.
What is Wage Garnishment?
Wage garnishment is a legal procedure where a person’s earnings are required to be withheld by an employer to pay for a debt. Thus, IRS wage garnishments are another form of tax levy, though the seizure of assets from your paycheck is an ongoing process. If the levy on your wages is removed through tax resolution, the wage garnishments will be stopped.
Can you Stop a Garnishment Once it Starts?
Since wage garnishments function as a basic form of a forced, involuntary installment plan, they can sometimes be removed through tax resolution by setting up a regular and approved installment plan. Besides removing the burden from your employer and giving you the power to handle the payments yourself, an installment plan can often be set up with payments that are considerably less than the wage garnishment amounts. That is why this form of tax resolution is very common.
