Protect Your Paycheck from IRS Collections

If the IRS is garnishing your wages, it means they’ve taken formal collection action against you. This typically occurs after multiple notices have gone unanswered. Once a wage garnishment is in place, a portion of every paycheck is automatically redirected to the IRS, often leaving you with insufficient funds to cover basic living expenses.

En Perez-Roura Law, our Miami IRS wage garnishment lawyers act quickly to stop garnishments and protect your income while negotiating a long-term resolution with the IRS. Taking immediate action can prevent financial strain from escalating into a crisis.

How IRS Wage Garnishment Works

Before garnishing wages, the IRS must:

1. Assess the tax debt and send a Notice and Demand for Payment.
2. Issue a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and provide at least 30 days for you to respond.
3. Notify your employer to withhold a portion of your wages and send it directly to the IRS.

Unlike other creditors, the IRS doesn’t need a court order to garnish wages. The amount they can take depends on your income, household size, and the standard deduction — but in many cases, the garnishment is substantial enough to cause severe financial hardship.

Steps We Take to Stop Wage Garnishment

Our legal team moves quickly to interrupt and reverse IRS wage levies. Depending on your situation, we may:

• File a Request to Release the Garnishment. We communicate directly with the IRS to demonstrate hardship or propose a resolution plan.
• Negotiate a Repayment Strategy – We may use Offer in Compromise (OIC), Installment Agreements, Partial Pay Installment Agreements (PPIA), or Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status to resolve the underlying tax issue.
• Protect Your Income and Assets – Our goal is to stop the immediate financial drain while putting a long-term strategy in place.
