IRS Rules about Payroll Garnishment Tax Levy
An individual’s wages, salary, payroll and other income can be levied.
Wages, salary, and other income include payment for personal services in a work relationship.
Sometimes an employer threatens to fire an employee to avoid handling a levy. This might be a violation of 15 USC 1674.
If the employer fires the taxpayer because of this, the employer might be fined not more than $1000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.
You should refer to the taxpayer to the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor (DOL). DOL, not IRS, must decide if the employer violated the law.
The Really Bad News Continuous Effect of Levy on Salary and Wages
Unlike other IRS tax levies, a levy on a taxpayer’s wages and salary has a continuous effect. this means it never stops until the IRS issue your employer or release of the payroll garnishment levy.
It attaches to all future payments, until the levy is released.
Wages and salary include fees, bonuses, commissions, and similar items. All other levies only attach to property and rights to property that exist when the levy is served.
If a bank account is levied, it only reaches money in the account when the levy is served. It does not reach money deposited later. So the payroll garnishment levy is a much more punishing garnishment.
When other income is levied, the levy reaches payment the taxpayer has a fixed and determinable right to.
If the taxpayer’s right to that payment is not dependent upon the performance of future services, then the levy will reach the future payments as well.
Exempt Amounts
Part of the individual taxpayer’s wages, salary, (including fees, bonuses, commissions and similar items) and other income, as well as retirement and benefit income, is exempt from levy.
The weekly exempt amount is:
The total of the taxpayer’s standard deduction and the amount deductible for exemptions on an income tax return for the year the levy is served.
Then, this total is divided by 52.
Income that is not paid weekly is prorated, so the same amount is exempt.
In addition, the amount the taxpayer needs to pay court ordered child support is exempt.
Note:
The support order can originate from a court or administrative process under the laws and procedures of a state, territory or possession.
