Wage Garnishment

Did you know the IRS can garnish as much as 25% of your paycheck? How are you supposed to pay your bills on 75% of your salary? When the IRS or State has failed repeatedly to collect taxes and they attach wages it is termed “wage garnishment”. Garnishment rules vary, but the IRS will take a significant portion of your paycheck each pay period and apply it to your outstanding tax debt.

Having your wages garnished is a stressful and financially debilitating experience. Benefit Tax Advisors will promptly contact the IRS to release your wages from garnishment, and then structure a solution to resolve the underlying tax liability—whether that is an Offer in Compromise, Currently-non-Collectable, Monthly Installment Agreement, or another form of resolution.
