Can I be fired over an IRS wage levy?
Federal law (Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1674) says an employer can't fire you because your pay is being garnished for one debt. That protection doesn't cover you if your pay is garnished for two or more separate debts, and some states add more protection. If you think you were fired over a garnishment, talk to the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division or an employment attorney. Source: 15 U.S.C. § 1674; dol.gov Fact Sheet #30
Can the IRS take my bonus, commissions or overtime?
Yes. An IRS wage levy (Form 668-W) covers wages, salary, bonuses, commissions and similar pay. The exempt amount is figured on your total pay, so extra pay mostly goes to the IRS. Source: IRS Internal Revenue Manual 5.11.2; IRC § 6331
