    Annually the IRS provides tables (see Figure 6.3) that shows the amount of the individuals' take-home pay that is exempt from the levy based on the filing status, the standard deduction, and the allowances claimed by the individual (W-4). The IRS instructs employers to withhold the difference between the take-home pay and the exempt amount. The take-home pay is the gross pay less taxes and the deductions in effect before the levy was received.
