IRS Bank Levies

Bank Levies
An IRS bank account levy is the seizure of funds from your bank account to satisfy unpaid tax debt. The bank will freeze your account so you cannot do anything with your account for 21 days and then the bank sends the funds over to the IRS.
Once those funds are seized it is highly unlikely that you will ever see them again. One important thing to realize is that the IRS does not want to levy your bank account and they would much rather settle your taxes in some other manner. It is likely that the IRS has tried repeatedly to make you pay and they have gotten nowhere so they use a levy as their last line of defense. It is important to understand how IRS bank levies work to ensure you take the appropriate actions to stop the levy while ensuring your future financial wellbeing.
