Frequently Asked Questions
How much can the IRS garnish from my wages?
The IRS can take a significant portion of your paycheck - often 70-80% or more, leaving you with only a small amount for basic living expenses. The exact amount depends on your filing status and number of dependents.
What happens if I miss the 30-day deadline?
If you miss the deadline, you can still request an Equivalent Hearing within one year, but this does NOT stop levy action. The IRS can proceed with wage garnishment while the hearing is pending.
