IRS Wage Garnishment Help in Las Vegas, NV and Nationwide

An IRS wage garnishment does not work like a private creditor levy. There is no court order, no judge, and no cap that leaves you a comfortable amount. The IRS sends Form 668-W to your employer, and your employer is legally required to comply with the next payroll run.
What you keep is set by a published exemption table based on your filing status and dependents, and for most people it is a fraction of a normal paycheck. Everything above that goes to the IRS until the balance is paid or the levy is released.
A garnishment is released, not argued away. The fastest route is almost always putting an acceptable alternative in front of the IRS, which usually means filing any missing returns and proposing an installment agreement or hardship status. We service clients all over the USA.

How we work

What happens first

A release is only granted once the IRS has something acceptable in its place. We pull your account transcripts the same day where we can, confirm which years are unfiled, and identify what the levy is actually collecting on. Missing returns are the single most common blocker, so those are filed first.

Getting the levy released

We contact the assigned revenue officer or the ACS unit with a Form 2848 on file, present your financial position, and request release on the grounds that fit your case. Where the levy is creating an immediate inability to pay rent, food or medical costs, that is stated plainly and documented, because that is the standard the IRS applies.

Keeping it from coming back

A released levy is not a resolved balance. Whatever replaced it, a payment plan or a hardship status, has to be maintained, and current-year withholding needs to be correct so a new balance does not build. We set that up with you rather than leaving you to guess. See IRS Tax Relief and Resolution.

Timing matters more here than anywhere else. Once your employer has the notice, the next pay run is affected. If you have received a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, or your employer has already been contacted, call (702) 743-6091 rather than emailing.
We service clients all over the USA. Representation before the IRS is federal, so where you live does not limit who can act for you. We are based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and we represent taxpayers nationwide, including state level matters with your own state revenue department.

Common questions

How fast can a garnishment be released?

When the returns are filed and the financial information is ready, a release can sometimes be secured within days. When years are unfiled, that work comes first, because the IRS will not release a levy for a taxpayer who is not in filing compliance.

Will my employer know my personal details?

Your employer receives the levy notice and the exemption form, nothing more. They are not told what the debt is for. Once we are on record, follow-up correspondence comes to us instead of your payroll department.

Can I just change jobs?

No. The levy follows the balance, not the employer, and changing jobs typically restarts the process with your new employer while making you look evasive on the account. Resolving it is faster.

Will they take my whole check?

Not the whole check, but often most of it. The exempt amount is set by a table based on filing status and dependents, and for many taxpayers it works out to a few hundred dollars per pay period.
