No matter how much you may not want to pay your income taxes, at some time or another you are going to end up paying them unless you leave the country and never return. The IRS is going to make sure that you pay off your full liability one way or another. One of the most common ways for the IRS to get their money is to garnish your wages. However, if you know what to do you can stop the IRS wage garnishment in its tracks before it even gets started. The most obvious way to stop the IRS wage garnishment is to pay your taxes in full, while this may sound rather obvious, it will stop all attempts to collect the debt in full.

It will also remove any type of levy or lien that has been placed on your property. Even though this may be the most obvious solution to the problem, most people who owe back taxes did not get there because they could afford to pay their taxes. You may find that taking out a loan or selling some of your assets off to pay the balance owed preferable to having your wages garnished however. Depending on the amount owed you may be able to stop an IRS wage garnishment by working with the IRS to come to some form of payment agreement, much in the same way as you make a monthly loan payment.

In most cases the IRS would be much happier to work out a payment plan than to have to go to the expense of getting a court order to have your wages garnished and you will be able to pay off your IRS debt over a period of years. You can also apply for an offer in compromise with the IRS, this will also stop an IRS wage garnishment action, but you are going to need professional help to apply for this program. This program is designed to work with you to create a program whereby they agree to settle for a much smaller amount of money than you owe and take payments that you can actually afford. Once you have paid the agreed upon amount you will be debt free. If you can prove that the payments the IRS is demanding will put an undue financial hardship on your family, this will stop an IRS wage garnishment at least for a while.

This particular method will only postpone your debt, it will not solve your problem but will give you time to make other arrangements to pay the debt you the IRS. You should never attempt to stop an IRS wage garnishment by yourself; for the most part you will end up with more problems than you already have.
