1. Federal & State Tax Levies The IRS issues a federal tax levy for non-payment of your personal income taxes. If there is no child support order in place, it takes precedence over everything (except a bankruptcy issued before 10/17/2005.) Part 1 - what happens if a child support order is received after a Federal Tax Levy is already in place? Part 2 - if an employee is single with two personal exemptions, is paid weekly, and has take-home pay of $750.00 for the current week, how much of that pay can be garnished for the Federal Tax Levy? Part 3 - according to the textbook, how much can a state tax levy take from an employee's disposable income? (This answer can vary from state to state, so use only the information given in the textbook.)
