IRS wage garnishment occurs when the IRS legally seizes a portion of your wages to recover unpaid taxes. This action is typically enforced after you receive a notice of deficiency, which is a formal alert that you owe back taxes and have not resolved the issue.

Our team assists in preparing and submitting financial documentation such as IRS Form 433-A or Form 433-F to demonstrate your inability to pay debt and establish eligibility for relief.
If you qualify based on your financial condition, our attorneys can guide you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed through an offer in compromise.
J. David Tax Law attorneys act right away to stop IRS wage garnishment and work to negotiate the full release or reduction of the levied amount as soon as possible. In most cases, we settle these disputes in as little as 48 hours!
If you fail to take action after receiving this notice, the IRS garnish wages directly through your employer. This process continues until your tax debt is fully paid, including any interest and penalties. Wage garnishment can severely impact your financial situation, leaving you with less take-home pay. It’s essential to understand how to stop this action and work towards resolving your tax debt effectively. Learn more about wage garnishment here.

Specific Qualifications:
• If you are unable to pay your tax debt and basic living expenses, you may qualify for CNC status. This designation pauses the garnishment while your financial situation is reviewed.
• If you qualify for an Offer in Compromise, you may be eligible for a garnishment release. This program allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. Eligibility is based on financial hardship or disputes over the amount owed.
• If you received a notice of deficiency and disagree with the IRS’s assessment, you can file an appeal. During the appeal process, the wage garnishment is typically suspended, pending the outcome.
Financial Requirements

They also assess your allowable expenses based on IRS standards for basic living expenses like housing, utilities, transportation, and medical costs.
