Release and stop an individual taxpayer with a wage garnishment from the IRS or state tax agency

June 15, 2018 | Mike Habib, EA

The IRS takes its responsibility for collecting the Federal Taxes from all individuals and businesses in the United States. They follow strict guidelines prescribed for them to follow in the IRC or Internal Revenue Code. Part of that code covers how they are able to garnish/levy/recover funds to satisfy an unpaid tax debt. One of the many tools that they have at their disposal is called the wage garnishment. This is an extremely effective tool and the IRC has very strict guidelines for the use and implementation of it.

What is an IRS Wage Garnishment, how to stop it?

An IRS Wage Garnishment is a levy that is imposed on a taxpayer for the sole purpose of obtaining the funds for the repayment of a tax debt owed to the Federal Government. For Los Angeles employees, or any other metro city in America, an IRS garnishment is sent directly to the employer of the person who owes the tax debt and they must send to the IRS the amount requested without question. Federal law dictates how much the IRS or any creditor is allowed to demand to be withheld by an employer.

Angelenos should know that the biggest difference between an IRS Wage Garnishment order and a typical creditor wage garnishment order is that the IRS does not need a court order to demand the levy be enforced. This is not the case for a creditor, they must obtain a court order in order to be able to demand that a business enforce the wage garnishment request.

An IRS Tax Levy is perhaps defaulting taxpayers’ worst nightmare but it is not altogether a rare occurrence and statistics place the number of Angelinos in Los Angeles, and American individuals, or businesses who are levied by the IRS; in millions every year.

A tax levy is by no means a cruel and unusual punishment but is a logical course of action against intentionally defaulting taxpayers by an arm of the government which collects the financial resources needed to run the country.

Paying taxes is every citizen’s duty and it is what is owed to the country by a private citizen, company or enterprise. Failure to pay taxes results in consequences. However, in all fairness a tax levy isn’t the first course of action taken by the IRS to ensure payment of taxes.

So what is a tax levy, why is it to be avoided at all costs and how does it prove to be an effective tool against defaulting taxpayers; read further to know more.

What is the difference between a tax lien and a tax levy? Release your levy today!

June 7, 2013 | Mike Habib, EA

Did you receive an IRS or state tax lien notice, levy letter, postcard or phone call?

Know the difference between a tax lien and a tax levy, there are major differences between both enforcement action.

A tax lien is a type of claim against property that secures the payment of a tax debt. A Federal Tax Lien is a non-consensual lien that gives the IRS an interest in the taxpayer’s property (this interest will allow the IRS to seize and sell the taxpayer’s property in order to satisfy an assessment). Under §6321, the tax lien is imposed in favor of the United States Treasury when an assessment has been made by the IRS, a notice and demand for payment has been made, and the taxpayer has neglected or refused to pay the assessment. Under §6322, the IRS tax lien arises at the time the assessment was made.

The lien attaches to all property and rights to property belonging to the taxpayer at the time the lien arises as well as any property acquired after the lien arises. The IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien to put the taxpayer’s other creditors on notice that the IRS has a claim against all of the taxpayer’s property. The IRS lien continues until liability for the assessment is satisfied by payment or abatement, or the assessment becomes unenforceable by reason of lapse of time.
