IRS GARNISHMENT - IRS WAGE GARNISHMENT
It is always best to try to stop an IRS garnishment (wage garnishment) before it hits you. If you owe the IRS a tax debt and do not have any arguments for why the tax assessment is improper or incorrect, consideration should be given to an Installment Agreement or negotiating an Offer in Compromise. This will prevent any collection actions—such as a tax levy (wage garnishment or bank account levy)—as long as you fulfill your end of the agreement.
If you think that a payment plan is the way to go, you need to know that the IRS has many rules governing Installment Agreements. It is best to consult with a tax professional before you agree to anything.
