If the IRS feels that you cannot pay, they are sure to go after your paychecks and any real or personal property that you own.

 

  • You will receive a notice in case the IRS is garnishing your earning. This notice is sent to inform you that the IRS will be taking away a majority of your take home earnings. You will be asked by the IRS for any exemptions, but be clear that these would not amount to much respite.
