Errors could include incorrect calculation of IRS debt relief.

If you think you can nail down the IRS; it is quite tough because of the complexity of the tax law. Therefore, you cannot know each law and its detail which is there in the hundreds of tax law. Neither you nor an IRS agent can learn every tax law. Hence, they violate their own rules quite often. If you do a thorough research, you will likely find an error or two. Once you find an error, wage garnishment by the IRS can be removed.

On finding an error made by the IRS, many people intend to sue IRS. In case, you want to sue the IRS, you’d need to send a letter in the name of US of your intent to sue the statute so that you can obtain the waiver of Sovereign immunity. Most of the citizens are not aware of Sovereign immunity. Therefore, if anyone find error in IRS procedures and intend to sue, they don’t bother. However, people aware of Sovereign immunity get in touch with technical compliance officer to obtain the waiver of sovereign immunity. Once you get the waiver, your case will not get dismiss and IRS need to take it seriously.

An ordinary person thinks court case is expensive and full of hassle same is the case with IRS. In order to retain a clear image IRS crave to avoid any cases against them. Nobody wants to waste money as well time in fighting and waiting for justice. Finding an error or mistake where IRS could not follow the statute or the regulations. Sometimes IRS interprets the statute in a manipulated manner so you’d need to check the regulations as well. After finding an error, note down your arguments against invalid wage garnishment, attach them with a notice of intent to sue and send them to Technical compliance officer.

Now, it’s Compliance officer’s decision to file a law suit against IRS or not. In case he wants to avoid the law suit, he’ll call the IRS agents associated with your case and order them to remove wage garnishments if they do not want a law suit against them.

You’d need to analyze your own case, if you want the IRS wage garnishment to be released. Compare the calculations and statute and the regulation followed by the IRS and you’ll likely to find some errors as in majority of cases IRS calculate the amount incorrectly. Your letter of intent to sue might get in your favor or not. However, a law suit will give more reasons to IRS to negotiate.
