Wage Garnishment Release
Protect your income. We act fast to stop IRS wage garnishments.
How IRS Wage Garnishments Work
An IRS wage garnishment, formally known as a wage levy, is a legal action where the IRS requires your employer to withhold a significant portion of your wages and send it directly to the IRS to pay your back taxes. Unlike other creditors, the IRS does not need a court order to garnish your wages.
The amount the IRS can take is substantial. They leave you with only a small, legally exempt amount based on your filing status and number of dependents, and seize the rest. This can make it nearly impossible to pay your bills and support your family.

Legal Methods to Stop or Reduce Garnishments
You have rights, and there are several ways to get a wage garnishment released or modified. Our team will immediately assess your situation to determine the best course of action.
The fastest way to stop a garnishment is to enter into a formal resolution with the IRS, such as an Installment Agreement or proving you are Currently Not Collectible.
We can demonstrate to the IRS that the garnishment is preventing you from meeting your basic, necessary living expenses, which can lead to a full release.
While often not feasible, paying the entire tax debt, including penalties and interest, will immediately stop the garnishment.
