What is a Release of IRS Bank Levy?
IRS Bank Levies are usually released when you repay your tax debt. Depending on the situation, we can appeal and have the IRS release a levy. If the levy would lead to an extreme economic hardship for you, the IRS may hold off on collecting, however the debt will still exist.
Another common method occurs when the IRS contacts your bank and asks them to freeze the available funds in your account for a duration of 30 days. We can help you but you need to call now! The longer you wait, the less likely it is to get a bank levy released.
An IRS bank account levy is when the IRS confiscated funds directly from your bank account to cover the back tax obligations you owe. Typically, the IRS calls your bank regarding your taxes owed. Next, your bank has to freeze your assets for 21 days from the date it receives the IRS notification. Consequently, if you do not respond during that time, the bank sends all the funds to the IRS.
An IRS bank levy will just affect the current funds in the account. When your bank activates the bank levy, it will not impact any future deposits. The IRS can release an additional bank levy in the future. However, this rarely happens.
The bank puts a hold or "freeze on the account" on the funds in the account. This is true even if it produces checks to be returned and overdraft account fees. The bank has to wait 21 days before delivering the funds to the IRS. If the levy is not released during this time, then the following day the funds will be delivered to the IRS.
Normally, this is the last line of defense for the IRS. The IRS only uses this enforcement collection strategy after trying to get in touch with you multiple times without getting a response.
Three Requirements have to typically be met before the IRS will levy:
They could present you this notice in person, leave it at your residence or usual place of work or deliver it to the last known address they have on file, for you by certified mail, return invoice requested.
