Wage Garnishment & Levy Questions Answered
How quickly can you stop a wage garnishment?
It depends on your situation, but in many cases we can get a garnishment released or reduced within 1-3 weeks of engaging our services. We contact the IRS immediately on your behalf and request emergency relief.
Can the IRS really take most of my paycheck?
Yes. IRS wage garnishments are calculated based on your filing status and number of dependents, but they can take 70-80% or more of your disposable income. This is why immediate action is critical.
What if I can't afford your fees because of the garnishment?
We understand you're in a financial crisis. We offer flexible payment plans and work with you to make our services affordable. The FREE investigation helps you understand your options before you commit.
What is the 21-day rule for bank levies?
When the IRS issues a bank levy, your bank must hold the funds for 21 days before sending them to the IRS. This is your window to act. If we can get a levy release within those 21 days, you may be able to recover your funds.
Will my employer find out about my tax problems?
If you already have a wage garnishment, your employer already knows. However, once we resolve your tax debt, the garnishment stops and you can move forward. We work to resolve the situation as quickly and discreetly as possible.
Can the IRS garnish my wages without warning?
No. The IRS must send you several notices before issuing a levy, including a Final Notice of Intent to Levy at least 30 days before taking action. However, many people ignore these notices, which is a critical mistake.
