Wage Garnishment Help

Stop the paycheck bleed within days — not months.

Overview

An IRS wage garnishment (technically a continuing wage levy) can take most of your paycheck under IRC §6334 exemption tables. Once we file Form 2848 and Form 433-F financials, we can usually secure a full or partial release within 3–10 business days by placing you in a qualifying resolution — installment agreement, CNC, or pending OIC.

What's Included

  • Emergency intake and same-day Power of Attorney filing
  • Levy release request under IRC §6343 hardship criteria
  • Immediate resolution plan (IA, CNC, or PPIA) to lift the garnishment
  • Employer notification handling — keeps HR out of the loop
  • Refund of over-collected amounts when possible
Wage Garnishment Help FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How much of my paycheck can the IRS garnish?

Under IRC §6334, the IRS leaves you only your standard deduction plus personal exemption, divided by pay period. For most single filers that's roughly $500–$1,000 per paycheck; the rest goes to the IRS until the debt is paid or the levy is released.

How fast can you release an IRS wage garnishment?

In hardship cases we can get a same-day release under IRC §6343(a)(1)(D). In typical cases, 3–10 business days once the financial statement is complete and a resolution plan is in place.

Will my employer know I have IRS problems?

They already do — the levy notice is sent to your payroll department. Once we secure the release, we send them the release form (Form 668-D) directly so they can restore your full paycheck.

Can the IRS garnish 1099 income?

Yes — but it's a one-time levy on each payment, not continuing. That means each 1099 payer must be levied separately, which is why W-2 employees are the more common garnishment targets.
