What is a Release of IRS Bank Levy?
IRS Bank Levies are typically 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 financial hardship for you, the IRS may hold off on collecting, however the debt will still exist.
Another common method happens when the IRS contacts your bank and asks them to freeze the available funds in your account for a period of 30 days. We can help you but you have to call now! The longer you wait, the less likely it is to have a bank levy released.
An IRS bank account levy is when the IRS seized 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. As a result, if you do not respond during that time, the bank sends all the funds to the IRS.
An IRS bank levy will only impact the current funds in the account. When your bank activates the bank levy, it will not affect any future deposits. The IRS can release an additional bank levy later on. However, this seldom happens.
The bank places a hold or "freeze on the account" on the funds in the account. This is true even if it creates checks to be returned as well as overdraft account charges. The bank has to wait 21 days before sending 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.
Usually, this is the last line of defense for the IRS. The IRS only uses this enforcement collection strategy after attempting to get in touch with you several times without getting a response.
Three Requirements have to usually be met before the IRS will levy:
They might present you this notice in person, leave it at your residence or usual place of work or send it to the last known address they have on file, for you by certified mail, return invoice requested.
