Stop Wage Garnishment

Wage garnishment is the most common method of collecting child support, unpaid court fines, taxes, defaulted student loans, or other monetary judgments. A court order must be received before an IRS wage garnishment can take place. When it is approved, up to 25 percent of an individual’s income may be garnished from their paycheck.

There are four states that do not allow wage garnishments except for child support, student loans, and taxes. There are other states that have lower thresholds than the maximum of 25 percent. Still other states outlaw garnishments altogether if the individuals is the caretaker of a child.

IRS wage garnishments occur over a period of time where the debtor refuses to make payment or acknowledge the debt. Before a wage garnishment may take place the IRS must have sent a Notice and Demand for payment that was ignored and then sent a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing within 30 days of the levy.
