A final notice of intent to levy is a certified letter sent to you by the IRS. This is their final request for you to make good on the debt before they escalate to a wage garnishment. An IRS notice of levy is a letter that the IRS sends to your employer. This letter requires your employer to set aside a portion of your wages (typically 40 – 80%) and requires your employer to send this portion to the IRS.
