If you are in receipt of an IRS bank tax levy we can generally get your levy released within 24 hours of receiving a verified financial statement.

 
Please keep in mind all tax  RETURNS will have to be filed and up-to-date.
I’m a former IRS agent teaching instructor.
We know the system.
 
 
A bank has a certain amount of time that it must hold a Federal Tax Levy.
Herein the the requirement of record:
A bank must wait 21 calendar days after a levy is served before sending payment.
Then, on the next business day, it must turn over the taxpayer’s money.
The depositor(s) can waive this waiting period. The bank will not send money that is subject to attachment or execution under judicial process.
“Bank”  includes credit unions, savings and loan associations, trust companies, and others described in IRC 408(n) and Treas. Reg. §301.6332?3(b).
During the holding period, a levy might be released, or the amount owed could decrease.
Note: If the bank receives no release, it must send the payment after the holding period. No additional notice is required.
Consider the holding period when deciding how long to project the accruals on a bank levy.
