If you live in Tamarac and received a notice that the IRS plans to garnish your wages, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. At Polaris Tax & Accounting, we help hardworking individuals and business owners stop wage garnishments and get their financial lives back on track.
IRS wage garnishment is a powerful collection tool. Once it starts, the IRS can take a large portion of your paycheck before you ever see it. The good news? It can be stopped—fast—with the right strategy and professional help.
What Is an IRS Wage Garnishment?
When you owe back taxes and ignore IRS notices, the government has the legal right to seize a portion of your wages directly from your employer. This isn’t like a typical debt collection—it happens automatically, and your employer is required by law to comply.
The IRS doesn’t need to take you to court to do this. They send a series of notices (like the CP504 and LT11) before taking action. If you’re at this stage, time is critical.
Wage garnishment can:
- Seize up to 70% of your paycheck in some cases
- Cause severe financial hardship
- Stay in place until the debt is paid or resolved

If you truly can’t afford payments, we can request Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status, which halts enforcement. - Explore an Offer in Compromise
