Garnishment Details
Estimates Only — Consult a Licensed Attorney
Wage garnishment is the lesser of federal and state limits. Some states have head-of-household exemptions, hardship petitions, or additional dependent allowances not captured here. The IRS tax-levy figure is an approximation; actual amounts use IRS Pub. 1494 tables based on filing status and dependents. Always consult a consumer-protection attorney before responding to a garnishment notice.
