Tax Levies and Garnishments

Likely the most problematic and stressful IRS collection actions are bank levies and wage garnishments. Wage levies are typically one-time attachments to current funds. Funds are frozen in accordance with the banking institution’s guidelines before being released. There are tools tax attorneys use to recover the funds and preventative measures to take. 

Wage garnishments are typically regular or continuous and take a portion of an individual’s wages or, in some situation, other sources of income like 1099s. These attachments are more difficult to be removed but our tax attorneys have seen hundreds of successful cases where the levy is removed completely or dramatically reduced.
