What Is A CP504 Notice From The IRS, And Why Might A Taxpayer In The Carolinas Receive One?

CP504 is a notice from the IRS warning of their intent to seize your property or state tax refund for your unpaid tax balance.

The IRS started sending out a lot of CP504 notices after the pandemic ended. Following that, North and South Carolina were under a hurricane-related disaster relief collection hold by the IRS. However, at the beginning of this year, taxpayers started getting bombarded with these notices again.

How Do Wage Garnishment Laws In The Carolinas Differ From IRS Federal Tax Garnishment Rules?

The IRS has broad authority under federal law to garnish your wages for unpaid federal taxes, no matter which state you live in. How much is garnished depends on your income, status, and the number of dependents you have.

While the IRS does have guidelines that define and protect “exempt income,”, they can still garnish a significant amount of your income.

In South Carolina, the state can garnish up to 25% of your gross wages for unpaid taxes. North Carolina, on the other hand, can only garnish up to 10% of your gross wages.
