Tax Levy Deduction (LEVY)

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can collect taxes owed by levying the wages of indebted taxpayers. The employer establishes the tax levy deduction by using a goal amount and the net pay exemption available to the employee. The system then calculates the amount due to the IRS each pay period. The Tax Levy (LEVY) transaction is used to create and maintain tax levy deductions.
