Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection allows debtors to settle their debts using regular income and without interest.

The IRS seized property -- including jewelry, furniture, music awards and recording equipment -- when agents raided Brown's home Aug. 3. The entertainer filed for Chapter 13 protection Aug. 5 and U.S. Bankruptcy Judge George C. Paine ordered the payroll deductions beginning Aug. 20, The Tennessean said.

The proposal allows Brown to keep other income, including royalty payments.

Besides the IRS, which claims Brown owes more than $300,000 in back taxes, interest and penalties, court documents indicated other creditors include the state of New York, American Home Mortgage Service and Wells Fargo Auto Finance.
