Similar to a bank levy, a wage garnishment is a seizure of your money however it is in the form of a seizure of wages. The IRS will issue the wage garnishment directly to your employer. Your employer is then required by law to withhold a certain percentage of your wages to send to the IRS. The IRS will leave only a minimal amount to cover “living expenses” which is often times painfully small.
