Stop IRS Wage Garnishments in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia
Few things are more stressful than finding out the IRS is taking money directly from your paycheck. An IRS wage garnishment can make it nearly impossible to cover your bills, rent, or mortgage — and the longer it continues, the harder it is to catch up.
At Mid-Atlantic Law and Tax, Attorney and CPA James Kraehenbuehl helps Washington, DC, residents take fast legal action to stop garnishments and protect their income.
How IRS Wage Garnishments Work
- The IRS can legally contact your employer and require them to send part of your paycheck directly to the government.
- Garnishments continue until the debt is paid, a payment plan is in place, or the IRS agrees to release it.
- You may have little notice before the garnishment begins.
How We Can Help
As a tax attorney, Attorney James Kraehenbuehl can:
- Negotiate with the IRS for immediate release of the garnishment.
- Set up an installment agreement or other resolution to stop further action.
- Challenge improper garnishments if the IRS made errors in your case.
- Protect your rights and ensure you keep as much of your paycheck as possible.
Take Action Before Your Next Payday
The sooner you respond to an IRS wage garnishment notice, the better your chances of stopping it before it takes more of your income.
