Florida's wage garnishment protections are among the strongest in the country. But the IRS doesn't follow Florida's rules. Federal tax levies use the IRS's own exemption table, leaving most Pinellas County workers with far less than Florida law would protect.
An IRS wage levy takes from every paycheck until resolved. For a single person, the exempt amount is roughly $1,100 per month. Everything else goes to the IRS.
