If your paycheck suddenly dropped and you’re told the IRS is taking a portion, you’re likely facing wage garnishment. While this action is legal, it’s not inevitable—and it can be stopped.
At McCauley Law Offices, we act quickly and strategically to protect your income, negotiate with the IRS, and resolve your underlying tax issue.
What Is Wage Garnishment?
The IRS has the power to seize a portion of your wages—without court approval—if you have unresolved tax debt and fail to respond to prior notices. This can continue indefinitely until the debt is resolved or the IRS agrees to another arrangement.
How Much Can They Take?
The IRS allows only a minimal portion of your paycheck to remain, based on your filing status and number of dependents. In many cases, 50% or more of your income may be garnished, leaving you unable to meet essential living expenses.
Why It Happens
- You owe unpaid taxes
- Prior IRS notices were ignored
- You have unfiled returns
- You haven’t entered into a payment agreement
