Wage Garnishment is a common IRS tax collection tool (also called a Wage Levy or Garnishiment). An IRS Wage Garnishment follows the same concept as a Levy. In this case a notice is sent to the taxpayer's employer, ordering them to withhold a certain amount of the taxpayer's wages, and pay it directly to the IRS.

Washington Tax Service Can Help you Resolve Your Tax lien

By filing a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, the IRS is publicly telling the taxpayer's creditors that it has a claim on some or all of the taxpayer's property (such as a house or automobile) and also on all of the taxpayer's rights to property (such as a business's Accounts Receivable.)

When a case involves an operating business, aggressive IRS Collections action (such as a bank or wage levy) or if a taxpayer has a complicated tax situation that needs extra attention, we always recommend that Professional Tax Representation be used. Representation is also useful if a taxpayer does not have the time or desire to speak with the IRS on their own.

IRS Collection Statute Expiration Dates

The Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) for IRS taxes is, in most cases, 10 years. Once this Statute period has run, any remaining tax debt is forgiven. The statutory period begins on the date the tax debt is assessed which is usually shortly after a taxpayers returns are filed. If a taxpayer never filed their returns the Collection Statute would begin on the date that the IRS creates a substitute return (SFR) for the taxpayer.

We Can Help Remove Your Spouse's Tax Liability from Your Tax Record

Not every marriage ends up "happily ever after." If one of the people in the relationship failed to pay their taxes, this can make a difficult situation even worse. While you were married, if you filed Married Filing Jointly and that return had an unpaid liability, the IRS views both taxpayers as 100% responsible for the tax liability. The IRS can make the innocent party pay for the debt or forfeit their income tax refunds.
