The IRS wage garnishment is a very powerful tool and can be financially crippling to the taxpayer.

Once a wage garnishment is filed with an employer, the employer is legally required to collect a large percentage (usually 30-75%) of the taxpayer's NET paycheck and send it to the IRS.

The wage garnishment stays in effect until the IRS is fully paid or until the IRS agrees to release or modify the garnishment.
