An IRS wage garnishment (also called a wage levy) can take a significant portion of your paycheck, leaving you struggling to cover basic living expenses. Unlike other creditors, the IRS doesn't need a court order to garnish your wages. We act quickly to negotiate the release of garnishments and establish resolution plans that let you keep your paycheck.

The IRS calculates the exempt amount on your wages based on your filing status and number of dependents — everything above that amount goes to the IRS. For many people, this means losing 50-70% of their paycheck. The good news is that wage garnishments can often be released within days once we engage with the IRS and demonstrate that you're willing to work toward a resolution.

Warning Signs

You may need help if any of these apply to you:

  • Your employer received an IRS levy notice on your wages
  • A large portion of your paycheck is being withheld
  • You received a Final Notice of Intent to Levy before the garnishment began
  • The garnishment amount leaves you unable to pay basic expenses
  • You have unfiled returns contributing to the collection action
