What address do I mail a wage garnishment release letter to the IRS?
Hi. I am trying to stop a wage garnishment from from the IRS. Can someone tell me what address I am to use to mail a notice to the social security treasurer? Wages are being garnished and I am trying to notify them so the garnishment can stop. I really need assistance on this one. Thanks!
The wage garnishment is not mine. Bankruptcy was filed.

And *why* do you think you can stop a wage garnishment?
Clearly you have ignored all previous attempts by the IRS to collect back taxes. Even if you are willing to set up a payment plan, why should they?
Find your old notices and CALL the collections area.
Notify them of what ? That you do not owe the taxes? The only way it can be stopped is when it is paid in full.
The IRS is garnishing you for back taxes? Only under rare circumstances can back taxes be discharged via bankruptcy. And what is a “social security treasurer”?
you can’t stop any garnishments except by paying the money
and regardless of what you want to do if you don’t have POA for the taxpayer your letter or contact will be ignored
need to file form 911. mail to where the instructions state.
also contact taxpayer advocate service(google it)
download for from irs.gov
There will be a phone number on the Notice of Levy on Wages, Salary and Other Income. Call that and be prepared to fax a copy of the face sheet of the bankruptcy petition. It should be 800-829-7650. You should also have a fax number where a release can be sent. IRS must release the levy because the taxpayer is under the protection of the court.
If IRS was listed as a creditor in the bankruptcy, it will received notice in the ordinary course of business but direct contact will speed things up.
