Wage Garnishment

Wage garnishment is a court order given to the employer to withhold a certain amount of their employee’s wages as payment for their debts. By law, no one can garnish an employee’s wages without first filing a lawsuit and then winning the lawsuit against the said employee. Evading court hearings is not a solution; there is a greater possibility that one’s wages will be garnished if he or she won’t show up in court.

Garnishment of wages has federal limits that prevent creditors from garnishing more than 60% of an employee’s wage or salary even in the most extreme cases. However, there are only four states in the United States that prevent creditors from garnishing wages: South Carolina, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

One way for the Internal Revenue Service to seek payment for an outstanding tax debt balance or Back Taxes is through Wage Garnishments. The IRS resorts to wage garnishments if a Tax Lien or levy doesn’t give them the results they want. Wage garnishments will continue until an employee’s tax liability is paid in full. Garnishments on wages can consume a big portion of the employee’s salary, making it hard for that person to pay for other necessities like paying the rent and buying bare necessities.

If one is in a situation like this, it is important to have someone who can give him/her information about tax law and IRS procedures. If not, the IRS can take advantage of the taxpayer and use every means possible to make the person feel anxious and scared. IRS collection actions can be severe and they can abuse the intent of the Congress to refrain from collection actions that could lead to economic hardships.

Tax debt relief for taxpayers can be achieved in the form of an Offer in Compromise. This will secure a temporary cessation on further tax collections that will then give professional tax consultants enough time to analyze the situation of their clients and determine the best course of action.

Things can go from bad to worse once a taxpayer’s employer receives the Notice of Wage Garnishments. The person’s income will be largely reduced to the point where he/she can’t pay his/her bill.
