Atlanta CPA Advises on What to Do When Your Salary & Wages Are Garnished
Atlanta CPA Advises on What to Do When Your Salary & Wages Are Garnished
For the 2009 Personal Income Tax Return I need to know how much of the actual tax of $4000 that was due from the 2008 Georgia State Income Tax Return that you paid in 2008 (not counting penalties and interest) as the taxes are an itemized expense on your personal return.
Regarding the garnishment that you received, if you would like my help with it I need a copy so that I might prepare and forward you a power of attorney for signature.
In the interim tax law requires you to obey the terms and conditions of the levy including the withholding from your wages and remitting of monies over to the IRS.
If we want to get the garnishment stopped we need to look at two options with the first being the one I would recommend.
Paying the Tax & Interest in Full While Requesting Penalty Abatement
This is the option we have discussed over the last year to pay your outstanding personal taxes due the IRS. By paying the tax and interest in full, while requesting penalty abatement, we have the best and biggest opportunity to address you open tax monies with the least open cost. If at all possible, I suggest we do this ASAP.
Installment Agreements
The IRS will work with taxpayers to pay the monies owed over time. This option requires the taxpayer to file a form requesting that a specified amount be paid monthly over time. The IRS then has to accept the plan prior to it becoming effective. Though this is a practical way to address a larger balance over time it does not stop the assessment of penalties and interest which will continue to accrue until all monies are paid in full. Thus, it is most advantageous to consider procuring the funds from other sources as these finance/carrying charges are usually much less than that of the Internal Revenue Service.
