IRS Wage Garnishments

Wage garnishments take money directly from your wages and salary.  They have a continuous effect.   They attach to future payments, until the levy is released.  Wages and salary that can be garnished include fees, bonuses, commissions, and similar items.

Part of the individual taxpayer's wages, salary, (including fees, bonuses, commissions and similar items) and other income, as well as retirement and benefit income, is exempt from levy.

The IRS will credit levy payments on the date they are received. They will apply the money in the most advantageous way to the government, not to you.  They usually apply it to the oldest assessment first. You can not designate how to apply the money because they are not a voluntary payments.
