Opening your paystub to see the IRS has taken a massive percentage of your income is devastating. Wage garnishment means you are working just to hand your money straight to the government, leaving you unable to pay your basic living expenses.
Unlike a bank levy, wage garnishment is continuous. It will happen every single pay period until your debt, plus interest, is fully paid.
You need your paycheck to survive. We negotiate immediate wage garnishment releases for hardworking people across the Bronx.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can my employer fire me for having an IRS wage garnishment? By federal law, your employer cannot fire you because of a single wage garnishment. However, it is an embarrassing situation to explain to HR. We work to release it before your workplace dynamics suffer.
How much of my paycheck can the IRS legally take? The IRS leaves you with a very small "exempt" amount based on the standard deduction and your dependents. Often, they can take up to 70% or more of your net pay.
