When you owe the IRS back taxes, the IRS has to follow collection due process to collect your taxes. They start by sending you balance due notices and work up to levy notices. If you do not respond to them, the IRS will issue a wage levy, 668w, to your employer to collect your back taxes. You can stop a levy by getting into a resolution on your back taxes.
