Tax CPA 911

What A Wage Levy Means

IRS wage levies can be continuous until your balance is resolved or the levy is released. The amount you keep each pay period is based on the IRS exemption tables in Publication 1494 (filing status, pay frequency, and dependents)—not a simple flat percentage. Understanding those exemptions is critical to protecting enough income for basic needs.

  • Levies may continue indefinitely.
  • Understanding exemptions.
  • Balance resolution or release.
  • Exemptions determine amounts.

How We Stop Or Release A Levy

Levy releases are possible when you resolve the liability or the levy creates immediate economic hardship. We move quickly to: (1) bring you into filing compliance, (2) pursue an installment agreement, Offer in Compromise, or Currently Not-Collectible status—whichever best fits your budget and eligibility, and (3) request a levy release or appeal if needed.

Why Acting Now Matters
While levied, you’ll still owe interest and penalties on the unpaid balance, and the IRS may also file or maintain a federal tax lien. In 2025, the IRS resumed automated levy notices, so timely responses are essential. We place immediate attention on notice dates and appeal windows to protect your rights and income.

I highly recommend this company for your tax needs. I have been working with Caitlyn and she has been amazing with communicating throughout the process and a great help.
John Davis Testimonial

John Davis

Had a tax debt from 2019 that I couldn’t afford to pay. After the IRS started garnishing my wages I called Tax CPA 911 and spoke with a tax attorney who was able to get the garnishments to stop so I could afford to feed my family… after that they got the IRS to accept a settlement for a much smaller amount than I originally owed. I was able to pay off the debt in one payment and finally have some peace of mind.

I came to Tax CPA 911 in February 2024 with an IRS tax lien of $118,000.00. They worked on a resolution and successfully reduced it to just $15,000.00 — a huge relief for me and my family. I now use them for my ongoing tax preparation, including for 2024 and 2025. I highly recommend their team for anyone needing serious tax help. They truly delivered.
