Stop IRS Tax Levies | Enforced Collection Help

Having back taxes — unpaid taxes from previous years — can result in significant financial and legal consequences. If your tax debt remains unpaid, the IRS may use wage garnishment to collect the money you owe. When this happens, money is taken directly from your paycheck and sent to the IRS.

If you’ve received a wage garnishment notice from the IRS, BC Tax can help. We offer wage garnishment representation to clients in Colorado and throughout the United States. Our licensed Enrolled Agents are uniquely qualified to negotiate with the IRS to help you preserve your income while meeting your debt obligation.

What Is Wage Garnishment?

Wage garnishment is a legal procedure through which a court orders a portion of a person’s earnings to be withheld to pay a debt. If the IRS believes you have back taxes, they may decide to garnish your wages, taking a certain amount of money from each of your paychecks until the full amount you owe is paid or you set up a payment plan with the IRS.

How Much of My Wages Can the IRS Garnish?

Title III of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) limits how much of your earnings can be garnished. The amount of earnings subject to garnishment is based on your “disposable earnings” — the amount of money left over after legally required deductions are made. These deductions may include federal and state taxes, Medicare and Social Security.

Deductions not required by law — such as health insurance and retirement plan contributions — are not typically subtracted when calculating disposable earnings.

Under Title III of the CCPA, weekly garnishment can’t exceed either 25% of your disposable earnings or the amount at which your disposable earnings are 30 times greater than minimum wage — whichever amount is less.

How to Stop Wage Garnishment

Dealing with IRS wage garnishment can be stressful and overwhelming. Let the experts at BC Tax handle this difficult situation for you. We have the expertise to stop wage garnishment and settle your debt quickly.

Depending on your situation, we may try several tactics to stop your wage garnishment.

Challenge the Garnishment

If you believe the IRS made an error in what you owe, you can dispute the garnishment by filing an appeal. BC Tax can help you apply for an appeal and represent you during the hearing.

Make an Offer in Compromise

An offer in compromise allows you to settle your debt with the IRS for less than the amount you owe. Our experts can file and negotiate an offer in compromise on your behalf to reduce your debt.

Negotiate a Payment Plan

The IRS allows you to pay your back taxes over an extended period by setting up a payment plan. We can help you determine the best plan to resolve your debt while preserving your income and savings.

I worked with BC tax , not only did they not deliver on helping lower my tax liability owed, after paying the $1250 fee they come and ask for... additional 1250. I stated the experience did not meet expectations and I wasn’t working with them any longer , they call and email asking if we can do a payment plan ( ask if I can’t pay a measly$ 1250) . I can but I won’t waste my money. This firm os just out to take your money but fail to deliver the services promised. You can never call and get an answer, always voicemails till they call you . Don’t waste your time and money.read more

Dan Roby, a gentleman, a wealth of knowledge, a friend. This man took the time to tell me not once, but twice how to handle my awful issues with the... IRS. Even though they’re not extreme, they are enough to keep me from sleeping at night. Dan explained that I should reach out to my original IRS case worker and explain to them my current position and be super honest. Explain a change of circumstances, explain the fact that I am soon to have to pay back student loans that I’m living paycheck to paycheck, and that I’m even having a hard time putting food on my table. And to ask the IRS person to give me an extended “loa” of all payments.… After being on the phone with the IRS for over two hours, and having multiple screens open, with my bank accounts my net pay, what I owe for different bills, The IRS gave me a conditional extension on what I owe them. What a sigh of relief. I wouldn’t have been able to do this on my own, without Dan’s kind knowledgeable advice, I came out a winner. This man is so awesome and I would recommend him and BCTax to anyone in need of tax advice!read more

I truly cant say enough good things about my experience with BC Tax. From the initial call they were very clear/concise with what I had ahead of me... and set clear expectations which helped calm my nerves. I really felt like I had a team of people helping me - and they were all on the same page.They cleared up something which had been hanging over my head for several years - IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!WHEN you choose BC TAX, have your documents (Bank statements, income information, etc...) ready for them or be willing to get them the information they need quickly - this will help them help you!!!.read more
