WAGE GARNISHMENT
Wage garnishment is a legal action that allows the IRS/State to collect a portion of your earnings directly from your paycheck to satisfy your outstanding tax liability. This is an involuntary action by the IRS/state because they are unable to collect outstanding liability after sending taxpayers notices. The IRS can also garnish your social security, pension, and other income sources as part of the garnishment.

Receiving a wage garnishment notice can be quite stressful. Wage Garnishment is a continuous levy, meaning your employer will continue to garnish your wages each pay period until the employer receives a physical copy of the wage levy release. The wage levy can be extremely detrimental because the IRS can leave you with merely some change and take almost your entire check.

A wage levy, or garnishment of wages, may be stopped if other arrangements are made to pay the overdue taxes, the amount of overdue taxes is paid, or the levy is released.
The IRS may release a levy when:
- The amount owed is paid.
- The period for collection has ended.
- You enter into an installment agreement with terms to release the levy.
- The levy creates economic hardship, or the value of the property is more than the amount owed and releasing the levy won’t prevent the IRS from collecting the overdue taxes.
