You received a notice labeled "Intent to Levy" 30 days ago, which you either overlooked or ignored. Now, instead of the usual paycheck on payday, you find that the IRS has claimed most of your earning. The small amount left is insufficient to cover your rent, car payment, grocery, or other bill. This garnishment will persist with every paycheck until your tax debt is fully settled.

You're now facing significant financial difficulty. Despite any appeal to your employer, they cannot return your fund because a wage garnishment mandate legally binds them to withhold a large portion of your paycheck.

I frequently assist a client in negotiating the release of an IRS wage garnishment by setting up a payment plan. The payment plan I negotiate is typically more favorable than the condition of an IRS garnishment, allowing you to retain your entire paycheck and avoid future garnishment.
