Stop IRS Wage Garnishment

Unlike private creditors, the IRS does not need a court order to garnish your wages. They can take a significant portion of your paycheck, leaving you with only a minimum exempt amount based on your filing status and number of dependents.

An IRS wage garnishment (officially called a "wage levy") continues until the tax debt is paid in full, another payment arrangement is established, the collection statute expires, or the levy is released.

How We Can Help

We work to get your garnishment reduced or released as quickly as possible by negotiating an installment agreement, demonstrating financial hardship, filing an appeal if the garnishment is improper, or applying for Currently Not Collectible status.

Common Questions About IRS Wage Garnishment

How much of my paycheck can the IRS take?

Can I stop an IRS wage garnishment?

Yes. We can often get garnishments reduced or released by setting up an installment agreement or demonstrating hardship. The key is taking action quickly and having professional representation.
