What Is the Percent of Wage Garnishment on IRS Back Taxes?
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can order you to pay back taxes if it determines that you have underpaid your income taxes. If you do not do so voluntarily, the IRS can garnish your wages — that is, take a percentage of your paycheck each pay period until your tax bill is paid. The IRS only garnishes your wages if you repeatedly ignore its communications.
