IRS Wage Garnishment Lifted on $1.9 Million Balance in McCauley Law Offices Case
Chadds Ford, United States - August 14, 2026 / McCauley Law Offices, P.C. /
CHADDS FORD, PA, August 2026. McCauley Law Offices, P.C., a tax law firm with offices in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, Haddonfield, New Jersey, and Westminster, Maryland, has published a documented case result in which the firm secured the release of an IRS levy against a taxpayer carrying a federal tax debt of approximately $1.9 million. The firm released the case to illustrate how rapidly IRS enforced collection can escalate when experienced agency personnel are assigned to a large balance, and how significantly more difficult a levy becomes to unwind once it is already in effect.
Aggressive Collection on a Large Balance
How the levy began
The taxpayer arrived at the firm with a balance approaching $2 million already in enforced collection status. The IRS had issued Form 668-W to the taxpayer's employer - a wage garnishment instrument that legally obligates the employer to redirect the taxpayer's compensation to the IRS. The firm's full account of the matter is documented in its case result post on the levy released on a $1.9 million tax debt, authored by Gregory McCauley Jr., Esq.
Why a levy gets harder to release over time
Once a garnishment is active, negotiating leverage shifts toward the government. The firm has observed taxpayers repeatedly accepting collection arrangements they could not sustain, largely because funds were already being withheld from each paycheck and the pressure to reach an agreement was immediate. Engaging representation before that point preserves options that are no longer available once enforcement is underway.
What the result illustrates
A large outstanding balance does not make resolution unattainable. It does, however, determine which IRS personnel are assigned to the file and how quickly enforcement actions follow - making the timing of professional representation the most consequential variable in the process.

The firm notes that outcomes are specific to the facts of each individual matter and that no prior result predicts the outcome of a subsequent case.
