Can a Tax Attorney Stop Wage Garnishment?

An IRS wage levy is continuous — it takes from every paycheck until the debt is paid, you reach a resolution, or the levy is released. The IRS calculates an exempt amount based on your filing status and dependents. Everything above that goes to the IRS.

A tax attorney can get a wage levy released by setting up an installment agreement (the IRS must release the levy once a payment plan is in place), demonstrating economic hardship under IRC section 6343, or establishing Currently Not Collectible status.

How Fast?

In many cases, I can get a wage levy released within a few days. The key is having a resolution strategy ready to present to the IRS immediately. The IRS doesn't release levies because you ask nicely — they release them because you give them a reason to, backed by the legal authority that requires it.

If the IRS is taking your paycheck, call me today. Every paycheck you lose is money you won't get back.
