800-900-4250Wage garnishment happens after CDTFA taxpayers stop paying their sales or use taxes, and repeat non-payment results in CDTFA enforcement through garnishment procedures. The CDTFA takes this action because taxpayers either ignore their notices, skip payment deadlines, or decline satisfactory payment plans. Wage garnishment begins automatically upon tax delinquency since the CDTFA operates through legal authorization without judicial approval.
You must take quick action when wage garnishment happens because it reduces the impact on your finances. Refusing to address the situation will worsen it, and the duration of the imposition of garnishment creates persistent financial difficulties for you to handle. Leading Tax Group offers assistance to help you recover your financial control in this situation.
