A wage garnishment can result from affecting a levy resulting from delinquent tax liability. Garnishment rules vary, but essentially the IRS takes a portion of your paycheck each pay period, and contributes the amount garnished toward paying off your tax debt. The Garnishment will remain in place until the tax is paid in full or until a Garnishment release has been processed.
Having your wages garnished is frequently a stressful and financially debilitating experience for consumers calling for tax relief. Berkshire Tax Resolution’s Tax Consultants and Tax Specialists will work hard to immediately contact the IRS to attempt to release your wages from garnishment, and then structure a solution to resolve the underlying tax liability – whether that is an Offer in Compromise, Statute Expiration, or an Installment Agreement.
The main function of the IRS, or Internal Revenue Service, is to collect taxes from working citizens of the United States. When you don't pay your taxes, the IRS has all sorts of creative ways to get tax money from you. A wage garnishment is one of the more severe (although all too common) tactics that the IRS uses to forcibly take funds from you that you owe to the government.
A wage garnishment is money taken directly from your employer's check prior to you receiving a dime. This way, the government gets not only the money you owe in back taxes, but often times the tax on the income you are currently making as well. A wage garnishment can leave you with only a small portion of your income, making it nearly impossible to pay your rent, bills, car payments, and other expenses.

Tax law requirements in the United States are clear. You must pay taxes or the IRS will penalize you. They will also charge you interest on your back taxes. In addition, the IRS will put a lien on your holdings and property. Next, the IRS will start a wage garnishment or a bank levy to proactively take your money from your paycheck before you even see it.
