How to stop IRS wage garnishment
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can garnish, legally seize, or put a lien on the taxpayer’s property so to satisfy federal tax debt or taxes owed. The IRS is challenging to taxpayers, and they usually look for a tax settlement to eliminate the necessity of contacting with an IRS agent. However, these actions can be prevented if the taxpayer informs the IRS about his/her situation and takes certain steps to solve his/her tax problems. Garnishments can refer to salaries, bonuses, hourly wages, and commissions. The IRS will contact the taxpayer’s employer and require part of his/her income. As a rule, the IRS will take 25 percent or more of the taxpayer’s income. It is legally required that the employer complies with the IRS garnishment. The IRS and most creditors differ in that the IRS doesn’t typically get the taxpayer to court to garnish his/her wages. Moreover, the IRS can garnish more than a creditor does. In order to get IRS tax debt relief, IRS wage garnishments should be stopped. If the taxpayer owes the IRS unpaid taxes, part of the wages can be taken out. The taxpayer will get a letter from the IRS months before sending the taxpayer to jail. The IRS must leave you with some money. Typically, it will be a small amount. The IRS will go on taking the required amount off your income until your tax debt together with penalties and interests is fully paid. Steps To Prevent IRS Wage Garnishment There exist a variety of ways to stop or avoid wage garnishment. The taxpayer must completely pay his/her balance or enter into a tax payment plan or a resolution. 1. Sign An Installment Agreement The taxpayer can avoid a wage garnishment if he/she enters into an installment agreement to pay the tax debt in full through monthly payment installments. If the taxpayer makes his/her monthly payments and pays off the tax debt before it becomes uncollectible, the IRS is likely to accept the installment agreement. You will have 3 years to pay all your IRS debt. 2. Offer In Compromise The taxpayer can settle his/her tax debt with the IRS for less than the total amount owed, based on his/her financial situation. The taxpayer should qualify for offer in compromise, and his/her wage garnishment will stop while the case is under review. It’d be better to turn to an experienced tax attorney to solve the problem without major challenges. 3. Considered Uncollectible Or Plead Poverty If you can prove you have financial hardships, the IRS may temporarily stop collecting the debt for upcoming months or years. You should prove you aren’t able to pay for basic living expenses because of the wage garnishment. Turning to a tax professional will be quite helpful in this case. 4. Change Your Employer If the taxpayer changes his/her employers, the wage garnishment will not go on as the IRS should get a new garnishment. It will take some time for the IRS to track your new employer down and reissue a new wage garnishment. This is only a temporary solution, but it can give you a few months of relief. 5. Temporarily Quit Your Job Quit your job for some time if it’s possible and the wage garnishment will cease to be valid. This will slow down the IRS. Then, if you get rehired, the IRS will have to require a new wage garnishment from your employer. 6. Work Part-Time You can choose another tactic, meaning you can work part-time. As a result, your income will get reduced to the level of basic living. 7. File Bankruptcy Or Choose The Nuclear Option Filing bankruptcy will prevent your wage garnishment. Though this is not the best way out, it is an option to try if you have to deal with other debts as well. This will stop the wage garnishment for some time. 8. File A Tax Levy Appeal You can file a tax levy appeal if you don’t agree with the tax levy. You can do this even if more than 30 days have passed since you got the notice of intent to levy. 9. Comply With The IRS Rules You should obey the rules set by the IRS. This means you should file taxes for each year. 10. Pay All Your Debts If you pay off the IRS, the latter will stop the debt collection process. You can borrow some money or sell an asset and pay all your debts. ...read more

IRS PLANS TO GO FULLY DIGITAL: CONSIDERING PROS AND CONS OF THIS MOVE
IRS is planning full transition to a complete online service with no snail mail service or in-person assistance. Within the next five years its “Future State” plan will gradually take effect completely transforming the way the IRS interacts with taxpayers. Not only taxes will be filed electronically, but all questions, payments – and even IRS audits – will be communicated online. The IRS says widespread automation is a necessary step toward a high-tech future. However, this move is alleged to leave critical taxpayer needs unmet. Nina Olson, who is a congressionally appointed watchdog of the IRS, warned that this plan could add to consumers` costs and discourage them from paying their taxes. In her report the watchdog says that she is not against IRS becoming more technologically savvy stressing “many positive components” of the plan. However, there are fears that relying on technology and tax preparers to answer questions will lead to creating a “pay-to-play” system, wherein only taxpayers who can afford professional help can rely on assistance with their taxes. The poor and those who don`t have access to the Internet, or those who feel uncomfortable talking over delicate financial issues online will be put at a huge disadvantage. Read More ...read more

HOW TO QUALIFY FOR INNOCENT SPOUSE RELIEF
Married couples often file joint tax returns as the IRS extends certain tax breaks to joint filers such as largest standard deductions, higher income thresholds for several taxes, opportunity to qualify for multiple tax credits, and many others. However, filing a joint income tax return can easily turn into financial troubles with one stroke of the pen on a divorce petition. Under federal law, spouses filing a joint income tax return are legally obligated to pay the taxes and any interest or penalty, even if they are already divorced. The IRS collects past taxes from whichever spouse they can, even if the divorce decree says that the only person responsible for them is your former spouse. Read more ...read more
