IRS wage garnishment represents one of the most financially devastating collection actions, seizing the majority of your paycheck, and leaving you unable to meet basic living expenses or support your family. At Resolve Federal Tax Group, we specialize in emergency wage garnishment release, taking immediate action to stop paycheck seizures, and negotiate alternative solutions that protect your income while resolving underlying tax liabilities. When the IRS issues a wage levy, your employer receives a legal order to withhold most of your earnings and send them directly to the IRS, leaving you with only a small amount based on filing status and dependents which is often as little as 20-30% of your take-home pay. This continuous levy remains in effect pay period after pay period until the debt is satisfied or the levy is released, creating an immediate financial crisis for most families. Time is absolutely critical in wage garnishment situations because every day of delay means another paycheck seized and more financial hardship. Our experienced professionals take emergency action to file hardship release requests, demonstrate that wage garnishment prevents you from meeting necessary living expenses, and negotiate installment agreements or other arrangements that immediately stop wage seizure. We understand IRS collection procedures, know how to document economic hardship effectively, and can facilitate rapid garnishment release. Beyond immediate relief, we implement long-term solutions that prevent future garnishments and give you control over debt repayment through affordable payment plans, Offers in Compromise, or Currently Non-Collectible status when appropriate. Wage garnishment also creates workplace embarrassment and potential employment risk, making rapid resolution essential to protecting both your income and your job. Don't let the IRS continue seizing your paycheck when immediate relief is available.
