I have spent more than three decades representing people against the IRS. A wage levy is one of the most common reasons people call. It is also one of the most misunderstood. People assume the IRS can take whatever it wants and that nothing can be done. Both assumptions are wrong.
This site does one thing. It explains IRS wage levies: how they are served, how the exempt amount is figured, what your employer must do, and the specific rules in the Internal Revenue Code, the Treasury regulations and the Internal Revenue Manual that get a levy released. Every guide cites the rule it relies on, so you can check it yourself.

What this site is not
These guides are general information. They are not legal advice about your situation, and reading them does not make you a client. Your levy, your income and your tax history all matter. If you want advice on your own case, call (813) 229-7100.
