IRS Wage Garnishment Tips

By Darrin Mish

If the Internal Revenue Service serves a notification to your employer that you are under wage garnishment, the company has no choice but to remove a considerable portion of your paycheck to give directly to the IRS. You will not see that money, making it as bad as it looks.

How much do they deduct? Usually, 80-85% of your net wages is deducted by the IRS in a levy. You will just be taking home $200 from your $1000 paycheck. It is a totally drastic measure that the IRS takes when they start to garnish your wages.

Depending on your particular situation, you may be able to get the IRS wage garnishment released. To receive quality advice, it's good to work with tax professionals, like a tax lawyer, who is experienced in these cases.

Like with all aspects of the IRS, there are very specific laws and guidelines relevant to an IRS levy being released and your wage garnishments being stopped. IRS employees who don't follow these guidelines face job punishments that are severe. A qualified and experienced tax professional will understand when the IRS is just giving you the runaround, and when they're telling the absolute truth about whether or not an exception can be made or if there are simply no other options. Sometimes, the IRS simply does not wish to help taxpayers.

Though most IRS officers are cordial, they still wish to collect money from you as soon as possible because this is their job. They can do this by garnishing your wages.

You require a tax attorney or any tax professional who are not only knowledgeable of the IRS guidelines, but also have a successful track record in dealing with the IRS regarding wage garnishments. You are sure that the IRS follows their own guidelines and your case goes through the proper channels this way.

Finally, does it look as though your tax lawyer works well with you? You should choose somebody who you can easily work with. While there are cases where the proceedings are considerably short, there are other situations where it takes quite a bit of time. You don't want to work with a difficult tax professional.
