IRS Wage Garnishment? Review Possible Release or Resolution Steps
A wage levy can keep taking part of each paycheck until the tax is paid, another arrangement is made, or the levy is released. If your employer received a notice, act quickly.
What matters in a wage levy review
Helpful facts include the levy date, employer notice, amount owed, whether all required returns are filed, your state, household size, income, and whether the levy creates hardship.
The IRS says a levy may be released in certain situations, including when it creates economic hardship, when an installment agreement does not allow the levy to continue, or when releasing it will help you pay taxes.
