There is no limit on regular income. When the IRS garnishes you, they take everything except for an amount that is exempt from levy (they will send your employer a table telling them how much they can pay you, and the rest goes to the IRS). This amount is, generally, the amount on your tax return for exemptions + standard deduction.
The table tells them how much they can pay you, that's the most important key.
For example, if you are single and paid monthly only $729 is exempt from levy, so that's what you will be paid. If you make $5,000 per month, obviously this amounts to much more than 25%.
There is no limit on how much the IRS can take out of your paycheck. There is only a limit on how much they will leave you with. Everything above that amount is sent to the IRS, which is why IRS garnishments are especially painful.

∙ 17y ago25% of disposable income with the first $154.50 (weekly based) being exempt from ganishment. This only applies to judgment creditor garnishment. Creditor garnisments can ony run consecutively. Creditor garnishment does not affect any support and/or spousal maintenance witholding actions. Therefore child support and/or spousal maintenance can run concurrently with a creditor garnishment.
