I would definitely cite the moment I googled “how to stop IRS wage garnishment” as my lowest point of the past year. I had some back tax issues. I found a tax professional and got in touch with him, asking “How can i stop wage garnishment?”

Of the approximate 1.2 million tax preparers in the country (as estimated by the Cato Institute), I found the right guy. He was empathetic and told me how to stop IRS garnishment.

Thanks to him, I was able to stop wage garnishment against me. See, if the IRS wants to take a principal residence, they have to go to court and seek the permission of a federal magistrate in order to levy the house in which the debtor lives. And in order to comply with the United States Constitution, the IRS has to provide the taxpayer a notice of the incoming levy and have an opportunity to be heard. Since, I received no opportunity or notice, he got me out of it.

Honestly, had I known that the United States Supreme Court had the power of administrative levy for federal taxes, dating all the way back to the year 1791, then I would have gone to a tax preparer years ago so I would not have had to google “how to stop IRS wage garnishment.”

You should know that if an employer fires an employee to avoid handling a levy, they are capable of being charged with a criminal offense. See, federal law provides for a fine of about up to 1,000 dollars and imprisonment for up to one year on an employer that knowingly and willfully fires an employee in connection with a garnishment of their earnings. So if you were like me, having to learn how to stop IRS wage garnishment the hard way, then you have no fears about losing your job.

You want to know how to stop IRS wage garnishment? The best way, as I learned, is to prevent it. But then, if you do find yourself needing help, then ask a tax preparer how to stop IRS wage garnishment.
