FTB Wage Garnishment Release

Service Overview

California's Wage Garnishment Hits Hard

The FTB garnishes wages through an Earnings Withholding Order for Taxes (EWOT), which can take up to 25% of your disposable earnings every pay period — continuously — until the debt is paid, the order is released, or the statute runs. Unlike a one-time bank levy, an EWOT keeps coming out of each paycheck, which is why release is urgent.

Service Benefits

How the FTB Releases a Garnishment

California will release or modify an EWOT when the garnishment causes financial hardship, when you enter an installment agreement or settlement the FTB accepts, or when the balance is resolved. Filing any missing California returns is often a precondition, since the FTB resists releasing while you’re non-compliant.

How Its Work

How We Help

We contact the FTB to seek release or reduction of the order, presenting a documented hardship or an approvable payment arrangement, and handle the FTB directly so you don’t negotiate against a collector — coordinating any parallel IRS wage levy.

The FTB controls timing, so we won’t promise a date, but well-documented hardship or an approvable agreement moves these fastest.
