    What Is a Wage Garnishment?

    You are probably wondering what a wage garnishment is. Basically, the IRS will notify your employer that he must remove a portion of your paycheck and send it to the agency until the debt (and any interest) is paid. This means that you will suddenly find yourself unable to pay your mortgage or your bills. In addition, most employers will start thinking differently about you as soon as they get the notification from the IRS. You may even lose your job.

    What Is a Bank Levy?

    If you have been notified that you have a levy on your account, it means that the IRS has taken steps to take the money you owe them directly from your bank account. The bank is forced to freeze your account and then sent the money to the IRS. What does this mean for you? It means that you are about to lose all your savings and perhaps even lose the money you need to pay your bills this month. This is a very dangerous situation, especially if you are struggling to make ends meet from paycheck to paycheck.
