IRS wage garnishment already started, or about to?
An IRS wage levy can take a significant portion of a paycheck with very little advance notice to the employee. If you've received a Final Notice of Intent to Levy or your employer has already been contacted, time matters — TaxLien Solutions can connect you with an independent tax-resolution professional quickly.
Start intakeCommon questions
How much of my paycheck can the IRS take?
The IRS uses a formula based on filing status and dependents that generally leaves a small exempt amount, taking the rest — often significantly more than a typical creditor garnishment. The exact amount depends on your specific situation.
Can a wage levy be stopped once it's started?
Often yes — resolving the underlying debt, entering into a payment arrangement, or demonstrating financial hardship are common paths that can lead to a levy release. An independent tax-resolution professional can advise on which applies to you.
