Wage Garnishment Assistance
Wage Garnishment Assistance
Seeing a chunk of your paycheck disappear before it even hits your account is one of the most stressful things a taxpayer can experience. An IRS wage garnishment technically called a wage levy means the government is taking a portion of your earnings directly from your employer to pay down your tax debt. RightWay Tax Relief Group helps you understand why it's happening, what your rights are, and what steps can be taken to reduce or stop the garnishment as quickly as possible.
How IRS Wage Garnishments Work
When you owe back taxes and haven't responded to collection notices, the IRS can issue a wage levy to your employer. Once received, your employer is legally required to withhold a significant portion of your paycheck often leaving you with only a small exempt amount based on your filing status and number of dependents. Unlike other creditors, the IRS doesn't need a court order to garnish your wages. The levy remains in effect until the debt is fully paid, a resolution is reached, or the collection period expires. Without intervention, the impact on your finances can be devastating.
Why You Shouldn't Wait to Get Help
Every paycheck that passes with a garnishment in place is money you can't get back. The longer you wait, the more you lose and the harder it becomes to cover basic living expenses. But here's the important part: wage garnishments can often be reduced or released when a taxpayer takes action to resolve the underlying debt. Whether through an installment agreement, an offer in compromise, hardship status, or another resolution path, there are options available but only if you act. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can work to get your paycheck back.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much of my paycheck can the IRS take through a wage garnishment?
The IRS uses a formula based on your filing status, number of dependents, and the standard deduction to calculate a small exempt amount the portion you're allowed to keep. Everything above that amount can be taken. For many taxpayers, this means the IRS can garnish 50% to 70% of their take-home pay, which is significantly more aggressive than garnishments from other creditors.
Can the IRS garnish my wages without going to court?
Yes. Unlike most creditors, the IRS does not need a court order to garnish your wages. They are required to send a series of collection notices including a Final Notice of Intent to Levy before taking action, but once those notices are sent and the required waiting period passes, the IRS can instruct your employer to begin withholding without any court involvement.
Can I get a wage garnishment released or reduced?
Yes and that's exactly what we help with. The IRS may release a wage levy if you enter into an installment agreement, demonstrate that the garnishment is causing financial hardship, qualify for currently not collectible status, or resolve the underlying debt through another path. We evaluate your situation and pursue the fastest route to relief.
Will my employer know about my tax debt?
Yes. When the IRS issues a wage levy, a notice is sent directly to your employer instructing them to begin withholding. Your employer is legally obligated to comply. While they cannot fire you solely because of a single tax garnishment, the situation can still feel uncomfortable. The fastest way to remove that issue is to resolve the garnishment as quickly as possible.
What if the garnishment is leaving me unable to pay basic living expenses?
If the garnishment is creating a genuine financial hardship meaning you can't afford necessities like housing, food, and utilities you may be able to request a reduction or release based on economic hardship grounds. We help you document your financial situation and submit the request to the IRS so the exempt amount can be adjusted or the levy can be released entirely.
Can you help if I also have unfiled tax returns?
Absolutely. In fact, unfiled returns are one of the most common reasons wage garnishments are issued in the first place. Filing all outstanding returns is typically a requirement before the IRS will consider releasing a levy or approving a resolution plan. We handle the preparation and filing of those returns as part of the process so everything moves forward together.
