If you’re a Tamarac resident and recently discovered that the IRS is taking money directly out of your paycheck, you’re not alone—but you’re not powerless either. Polaris Tax & Accounting helps local taxpayers stop IRS wage garnishments fast and get their financial lives back under control.
What Is IRS Wage Garnishment?
Wage garnishment is one of the IRS’s most aggressive collection tools. If you have unpaid taxes and haven’t responded to earlier notices, the IRS can legally order your employer to withhold a portion of your paycheck and send it directly to the government.
This doesn’t happen overnight—but once it starts, it won’t stop until your tax debt is paid, or a resolution is in place.
How the Garnishment Process Works
Before the IRS can garnish your wages, they must send several notices:
- CP14: Your initial balance due notice.
- CP501 & CP503: Reminder letters.
- CP504: Urgent notice of intent to levy.
- LT11 or Letter 1058: Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Your Right to a Hearing.
If you fail to respond, the garnishment kicks in—and you may lose a significant portion of every paycheck.
What Can Polaris Do to Stop It?
We help Tamarac taxpayers stop garnishment by:
- Requesting a Collection Due Process Hearing (CDP) if the notice just arrived
- Submitting an Installment Agreement to make affordable monthly payments
- Applying for Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status if you’re experiencing financial hardship
- Filing for an Offer in Compromise (OIC) to settle for less than you owe (if you qualify)
Every case is different—but we act fast. In many cases, we can get the garnishment paused while we negotiate with the IRS.
