A wage garnishment or levy is a method by which the Internal Revenue Service or the State has the means to collect outstanding taxes that the taxpayer has failed to voluntarily pay. It gives the Internal Revenue Service the power to garnish (take) your wages to satisfy your tax debt.

The Internal Revenue Service is obligated by law to exempt an extremely small portion of your available income from the wage levy. The amount the Internal Revenue Service exempts; however, usually prohibits the average taxpayer from continuing to meet even the basic living expenses. Mr. Cotton will negotiate with the Internal Revenue Service in order to secure a Release of Levy on Wages for you.
