IRS wage garnishments and IRS levies can be stopped in 3-4 business days, if don e properly.

One has to realize that the last resort the IRS utilizes is a wage g arnishment or levy. This is one of the most lethal weapons available to the IRS. However, when facing a garnishment or levy, the most important thing is not to panic or ignore the problem. There are several ways to have the levy or garnishm ent released. The first thing that has to be done is to verify that the taxpayer is in complia nce with the IRS. Being in compliance means that all outstanding tax returns for every year have been filed with the IRS. Those tax returns include 1040s, 1099s, quarterly estimated tax payments, 941s or 940s depending on the particular situati on of the taxpayer. In order to determine if you are in compliance, the IRS is contacted immediately upon receipt notice of an IRS garnishment or levy. Be advised that you need to be very cautious when contacting the IRS in regards to this. Before the IRS will give you any information of your compliance, they will immediately interrogate you, trying to find out what bank accounts you have, what other incomes you have and the assets you own. This is all in an effort to begin to levy, garnish or s eize any assets the taxpayer may have. This is one of the main reasons why a tax professional should contact the IRS on the taxpayers behalf. A tax professional does not have to release their clients personal information to the IRS. The repr esentatives goal at this point is to only determine if the taxpayer is in complia nce with the IRS. Everything is determined by the IRS computers and the Automated Collections Divi sion. The only way to be brought into compliance is by filing returns for each y ear that wasnt filed. Depending on what the computer states, you may have to file 6 years worth of IRS tax returns or they may even go back to 15 years worth of ta xes. This is why the IRS must be contacted immediately to figure out what needs to be done to bring the taxpayer back into compliance. If there are compliance issues, the IRS will inform the tax professional or the taxpayer what taxes must be filed. It is important to prepare these taxes, but n ot to mail them in. They need to be faxed to the IRS so they are acknowledged in the IRS computers immediately and the processing of these returns can start wit hin hours, not weeks or months; the IRS will not release the wage garnishment un til the tax returns are at least submitted for processing to the IRS. Once it is determined that a taxpayer is in compliance, the next thing the IRS i s looking for is a resolution to the outstanding taxes owed to the IRS. This may be in the form of a payment plan, a partial payment plan, having the taxpayer d eclared non-collectible or entering into an offer in compromise. In most cases, the IRS will request your financial information through particula r forms in order to determine how much, if anything, you can afford to pay towar ds your total tax liability. If your file is being handled in the automated coll ections division, a 433F form (a simplified Collection Information Statement) ha s to be prepared and submitted along with supporting documentation. If the file is with a field agent, a 433A form (a detailed Collection Information Statement) has to be prepared and filed with the field agent, along with the supporting do cumentation. The IRS knows that in 90% of the cases, the wage garnishment or IRS levy is a ha rdship on the taxpayer, and the proper procedure is that after submitting these financials, the IRS should release the wage garnishment within hours. Unfortunat ely, taxpayers try to perform this procedure by themselves; without a tax profes sional involved, the IRS simply drags their feet and prolongs the situation. For instance, if a taxpayer failed to fill out prior paperwork correctly, some IRS agents may take it personally and therefore purposfully prolong your case. The t

ax professional you chose to represent you should take the necessary steps to fo rce the IRS to comply with the rules and regulations in order to have these matt ers expedited within hours rather than weeks or months. There is a second method of having a wage garnishment or levy released; this pro cedure consists of proving to the IRS that a wage garnishment is a true and imme diate hardship to the taxpayer. A hardship to the taxpayer is that housing, tran sportation or food expenses are at an immediate risk; i.e. if your electricity i s about to be disconnected, and you can provide a statement from your service pr ovider showing that your electricity is being shut off due to non-payment or if you are able to provide an eviction notice or foreclosure notice due to non-paym ent the same method applies. Asking the IRS to release the wage garnishment base d on these facts is a very difficult task because the IRS is receiving nothing i n return providing a solution to the outstanding taxes. This can be an up-hill f ight for the taxpayer to handle on their own, but hiring a professional will hel p secure you get the best possible outcome.
