A tax levy is one of the harshest collection mechanism used by the IRS and state taxing authorities. A levy is the legal seizure of your assets to satisfy back taxes owed. This is different from a tax lien because a lien is only a claim to your assets while a levy is the actual seizure of the assets. The IRS may levy your bank accounts, investment accounts, accounts receivable, wages, social security, pensions, insurance policies and actual physical assets.

Q. Why did the IRS send a Notice of Intent to Levy?

Q. Can I get fired from my job because of a Levy or Garnishment of my wages?

A. IRS contact in the workplace can be embarrassing and create additional administrative work for an employer who has to comply with IRS attempts to levy or garnish an employee's paycheck. However, an employer is prohibited from terminating your employment as a result of the IRS demands. We recommend you Schedule a Consultation with us to determine how we might help to stop IRS communications with your employer. We do not recommend contacting the IRS on your own.

Q. Can the IRS seize my entire paycheck?

A. No, IRS Publication 1494 provides a table for the amount of monthly income that is exempt from IRS confiscation to provide a minimal amount of income for monthly living expenses.

The IRS will not stop, cease or desist in its collection efforts through notification to your employer to withhold taxes owed from your paycheck to resolve the unpaid taxes.
