A wage garnishment or wage levy is a legal seizure of property. It is an effective method of tax collection used by both the IRS and many States. The IRS or States will issue a wage garnishment to seize all or part of a taxpayer's wages if a taxpayer doesn't reply to collection letters or fails to live up to an agreement to re-pay back taxes. A wage garnishment doesn't take the taxpayer's financial situation into account and is often thought of by collection agents more as an attention getter than a true resolution to a tax problem.
