IRS Wage Garnishment Letter: A formal notification issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to an employer, instructing them to withhold a specific portion of an employee’s wages to satisfy an outstanding tax debt owed by the employee.
The letter typically outlines the amount to be withheld and provides details about the employee’s tax obligations. Employers are legally required to comply with the garnishment order and remit the withheld funds directly to the IRS. This process is a part of the IRS’s collection efforts to ensure that taxpayers meet their tax liabilities.
