What exactly does it mean when the California Franchise Tax Board announces that they are going to garnish your paycheck? To begin with, the FTB will notify your employer, letting your boss know that you have an unpaid tax debt. The California Wage Garnishment will be deducted from each and every paycheck. A portion of the paycheck that would have been paid to you will now be paid to the FTB.

If you are self-employed, the FTB can send a wage levy to your customers and levy your accounts receivable. Those businesses and individuals are required to send any funds they owe you to the FTB. The FTB often uses this method of enforced collection activity to collect tax debts. Remember: You are not unique. The California Franchise Tax Board has dealt with a case like yours in the past, and they know exactly what steps to take to get paid.

While there are limits on the percentage of wages the FTB can garnish, you will be left with very little money to support yourself and your family. When the FTB decides how much of your paycheck to take, they don’t take into account how much money you need for necessities. If the California Franchise Tax Board garnishes your wages, most likely you will be struggling not only to pay your bills, but also to simply survive.

If you have received a notice that your wages are going to be garnished or if the FTB already has begun garnishing your wages, we recommend that you do not negotiate with state of California on your own. Without the experience and the expertise of Peter Stephan and the Tax Experts at the Tax Resolution Institute by your side, you will be at a real disadvantage. In addition, since the Tax Resolution Institute is based in Southern California with locations in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, we have extensive experience in working with the California Franchise Tax Board on tax cases like your own.

If you take no action, the FTB will continue to garnish your wages until your entire tax debt has been settled. With California in economic crisis, the Collections Officers are under pressure to collect back tax debts. We know how to negotiate with the FTB to achieve the full or a partial release of your Wage Garnishment if you qualify for such relief. You will not know if you qualify until you contact us and have your tax case fully analyzed. By securing a temporary freeze on further collection activity, we have the necessary time to examine your tax situation and determine the best course of action.

Upon examination of the facts and circumstances behind your tax debt, it is possible that we can arrange an Installment Agreement with the FTB for a dollar amount that is significantly lower than the Wage Garnishment. You will agree to pay the exact dollar amount agreed upon every month until your tax debt has been covered. If you qualify, we also can negotiate an Offer in Compromise, thus settling your tax debt for a much smaller amount than the actual back taxes owed to California.

If neither an Installment Agreement nor an Offer in Compromise work for you on account of financial hardship, we will try to have your debt given the official FTB status of Currently Not Collectible. As a result, all collection activity will cease until you are in the position to pay your tax debt. As you can see, there are many options that could be taken by the CPAs and Tax Attorneys at the Tax Resolution Institute when the California Franchise Tax Board has garnished your wages.
