Stop Wage Garnishment in New York City

Brooklyn and Manhattan Tax Lawyer

Did you know that the IRS has the authority to garnish your wages without resorting to court proceedings? It is the only collection agency authorized to do so, and this means that if you owe back taxes you may be at risk of facing wage garnishment with virtually no notification. If you owe taxes and have not worked out a payment plan or have not paid these, the IRS may send a written notice to your employer that requires the withholding of a certain amount of money from your paycheck. Depending on the amount of taxes you owe, this may range all the way up to 80 or 90% of your check!

A person who owes back taxes is typically already in a tough financial situation. Wage garnishment will only worsen matters, possibly leading to financial ruin.
