Verified Hawaii Resolution Options

Installment agreements: Installment plan agreements under DOTAX authority (Haw. Rev. Stat. §231-3) via Hawaii Tax Online.

Offer in compromise / settlement: Compromise of taxes authorized under Haw. Rev. Stat. §231-3(10) (doubt as to collectibility or liability).

Penalty abatement: Penalty waiver for reasonable cause under Haw. Rev. Stat. §231-39(b)(4).

Wage / levy protection: Federal CCPA floor (15 U.S.C. §1673): ordinary creditor garnishment limited to the lesser of 25% of disposable earnings or the amount exceeding 30× the federal minimum wage. State tax levies on wages may exceed this consumer cap at agency discretion. Hawaii uses a graduated formula but in practice protects roughly 95% of the first $100 monthly, with the federal 75% floor (Haw. Rev. Stat. §652-1).

Citation status: Statutory citations verified against state sources. Collection SOL corrected to Haw. Rev. Stat. §235-111(d), confirmed via Justia: levy/court proceeding within 15 years after assessment (the 15-year period lives in the Income Tax Law §235-111, not §231-23). §231-25 levy/distraint and §231-3(10) compromise/admin powers confirmed via Justia/files.hawaii.gov. §652-1 wage exemption confirmed.
