Unfortunately, it's not how much they take per pay period. It's how much they leave you.
There is a table that they give your employer that tells them how much to leave you in each paycheck, and it depends on how often you are paid and how many exemptions you claimed on your W-4.
In general, they are going to leave you with the amount of the standard deduction + personal exemptions on your tax return. So, for a single person that's about $8,000 per year that they'll let you have.
The IRS knows that nobody can live off of this. If they are garnishing your wages, more than anything they want your attention.
Give them a call and see if you can work out an alternative arrangement.

The IRS leaves you with about $250/ per week. At least that's what they left me. And that's to take care of a family of 4. Needless to say called them as soon as I found out. It took 5 weeks to release the levee. They were taking a little over 1700/per week. Not nice, not fun.

It can take up to six weeks for the IRS to post the refund credit and then transfer the credit to the period with the liability. Once this is done the levy will be released and any over payments from the levy will be returned. Unless you are working with a local revenue agent you need to call the IRS directly at 800-829-7650 or 800-829-3903 to speed up the process. These are the numbers to IRS collections department. They may ask you to fax a copy of the return to them but in any event they should release the levy immediately. I say should because IRS collections agents are tough and it may take repeated calls or the help of a tax attorney, like myself.

What is a release of levy?
A release of levy or certificate of levy release is issued once either a liability is paid in full or you reach a formal agreement to start paying back your debt. In which case the certificate of levy release is faxed to your employer and /or bank instructing them to release the monies levied (in the case of a bank levy) or to stop garnishing a portion of your paycheck (in the case of a wage levy.) In order for the IRS to issue one of these (if you are dealing with a federal tax liability) you will have to negotiate either an installment agreement or provide documentation and negotiate a Currently not Collectible status with them. This status tells the IRS to stop garnishing and or enforcing collections since you cannot afford to either pay the debt or enter an installment agreement. Finally, a wage or bank levy can be released if you can show the IRS that you will loose your home, be evicted or have your water disconnected if the levy continues or take place. This is done by filing form 911 with the IRS. See the Related Link to a blog with all sorts of information about taxes.
