Arizona Tax Problems in Mesa

The best ways to stop a wage garnishment depends on the situation. Here are some suggestions.

If you agree with the balance owed and have the ability to pay it off or make monthly installment payments, the wage garnishment will end.

If the wage garnishment is because of a reason due to identity theft and you are being taxed for income that you didn’t earned (someone illegally used your social security number for income reporting purposes) it is best to go directly to the taxpayer advocate office and explain the situation.

If the wage garnishment will put you out on the street and create an undue hardship, file a form 911, taxpayer assistance order, to get the amount of the garnishment reduced so that your basic necessities to sustain life can continue.

If you disagree with the taxes owed or the reasons why a wage garnishment was taken, you should file for a collection due process hearing and take you case to the Appeals office.

If you have a job that is not that important to your career or support and can get another similar job, quit and take another job. It will take several months or longer for the IRS to track you down. However, I recommend you only do that to give you time to deal responsibly with IRS problem. Procrastination is only make matters worse. Facing your Arizona tax problem in Mesa and getting on with your life only make sense.
