Avoiding an IRS Wage Levy


If something seems amiss about your tax filings, you may find yourself being threatened with an IRS wage levy. A levy could have a serious impact on your standard of living. Once the IRS decides to slap a levy on your bank account or wages, you'll no longer have a say in how much money the IRS gets to take from you. Wage levies are different from liens. According to the IRS web site:

"A lien is a claim used as security for the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt. If you do not pay your taxes (or make arrangements to settle your debt), the IRS may seize and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in."
Once the IRS wage levy has been served, you'll start seeing your money disappear. So much might be removed from your paycheck every week that you'll find you can't live on what's left. Without professional help, overcoming this might seem impossible.
