Information you need to know about the IRS bank levy.
A levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt.
IRS Levies are different from IRS liens.
A lien is a legal claim against property to secure payment of the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
Where does Internal Revenue Service (IRS) authority to levy originate?
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) authorizes levies to collect delinquent tax. See IRC 6331. Any property or right to property that belongs to the taxpayer or on which there is a Federal tax lien can be levied, unless the IRC exempts the property from levy.
What actions must the Internal Revenue Service take before a levy can be issued?
The IRS will usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
• The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment (a tax bill);
• You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
• The IRS sent you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (levy notice) at least 30 days before the levy.
The IRS may give you this notice in person, leave it at your home or your usual place of business, or send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If you have moved and not let the Internal Revenue Service know, many tax payers find themselves between a rock and a hard place because IRS sends the last final notice to the last filed address on the tax return.
Please note: if the IRS levies your state tax refund, you may receive a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, Notice of Your Right to Hearing after the levy.
When will the IRS issue a levy?
If you do not pay your taxes (or make arrangements to settle your debt), and the IRS determines that a levy is the next appropriate action, the IRS may levy any property or right to property you own or have an interest in.
For instance, the IRS could levy property that is yours, but is held by someone else (such as your wages, retirement accounts, dividends, bank accounts, licenses, rental income, accounts receivables, the cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions). Or, the IRS could seize and sell property that you hold (such as your car, boat or house).
What if a levy on my wages, bank, or other account is causing a hardship?
If the levy on your wages is creating an immediate economic hardship, the levy must be released. If the levy on your bank account or other account is creating an immediate economic hardship, the levy may be released.
An economic hardship occurs when we have determined the levy prevents you from meeting basic, reasonable living expenses. In order for the IRS to determine if a levy is causing hardship, the IRS will usually need you to provide financial information so be prepared to provide it when you call.
A levy release does not mean you are exempt from paying the balance.
The IRS will work with you to establish a payment plan or take other steps to help you pay off the balance. To help ensure quick action, please have the fax number available for the employer, bank or other financial institution that is processing the levy.
When the levy is on a bank account, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provides a 21-day waiting period for complying with the levy.
The waiting period is intended to allow you time to contact the IRS and arrange to pay the tax or notify the IRS of errors in the levy.
Generally, IRS levies are delivered via the mail. The date and time of delivery of the levy is the time when the levy is considered to have been made.
In the case of a bank levy, funds in the account are frozen as of the date and time the levy is received. Normally, the levy does not affect funds you add to your bank account after the date of the levy.
IRS Wage Levies may Follow 688W
If the IRS levies (seizes) your wages, part of your wages will be sent to the IRS each pay period until:
• You make other arrangements to pay your overdue taxes,
• The amount of overdue taxes you owe is paid, or
• The levy is released.
Part of your wages may be exempt from the levy and the exempt amount will be paid to you. The exempt amount is based on the standard deduction and an “amount determined” calculated in part based on the number of dependents you are allowed for the year the levy is served.
The IRS mails Publication 1494 (PDF) with the levy which explains to your employer how to determine the amount exempt from levy.
Your employer will provide you with a Statement of Dependents and Filing Status to complete and return within three days. If you do not return the statement in three days, your exempt amount is figured as if you are married filing separately with no dependents (zero). If you have other income sources, the IRS may allocate the exemptions to the other income source and levy on 100% of the income from a particular employer.
Levies are different from liens.
A lien is a legal claim against your property to secure payment of your tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
A federal tax lien comes into being when the IRS accesses a tax against you and sends you a bill that you neglect or refuse to pay it. The IRS files a public document, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien, to alert creditors that the government has a legal right to your property.
You have the right to appeal if the IRS advises you of the intent to file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien. Your appeal rights are explained in IRS Publication 1660, Collection Appeal Rights (PDF).
When filed, the Notice of Federal Tax Lien is a public document that alerts other creditors that the IRS is asserting a secured claim against your assets.
Credit reporting agencies may find the Notice of Federal Tax Lien and include it in your credit report. An IRS levy is not a public record.

As former IRS agents I can tell you people came in our offices trembling and there was nothing you could do to calm them down. The fear was overwhelming.
At the end of the day, many taxpayers feel they have things to hide her skeletons in their closet and an IRS auditor with the spyglass is going on cover some financial secret goings on in the lives of taxpayers.
While this is true it’s important to remember that IRS is just questioning things about your tax return that seem to be out-of-place and not normal.
IRS has what’s called the DIF grading system scoring system that generally determines what tax returns will be pulled for audits.
Knowing the formulas of IRS audit algorithm’s are like knowing the formula for Coca-Cola.

The benefits of using former IRS agents is very simple.
We can minimize the current damage if any that may occur as a result of your current audit and keep you almost audit proof moving forward.
One of the important factors is presenting a taxpayer defense during a tax audit. We know all the various defenses available to assure you will not be hammered by the IRS. Also, we can help minimize any penalties and interest that IRS may tack on as a result of the tax audit.
We can also go to appeals if necessary and defend you through the entire IRS audit process.
There are systems and methods that we know that we can put in place to safeguard any future audits.
The IRS Audit:
IRS starts all audits with basic information and items they are looking for.
Agents have the ability to dig further if they find discrepancies or start sniffing with audit trails that can lead other places.
The problems with an IRS audit is IRS can be asking for one year and decide to go back two years or maybe for a year so the general taxpayer has no idea where this audit is going to end up.
Many times a tax professional can prevent this.
One of the big tips I can tell taxpayers going into a tax audit, yes, have everything neat and organized. If you don’t have some of the records put a package together reconstruction that is believable. even though you don’t have your tax records you are allowed to reconstruct.
Being a former IRS agent I can tell you the best thing you can do if you have any skeletons in your closet whatsoever is turn this over to a tax professional.
If your tax records are clean you should do this yourself and save the money but if anything whatsoever is hidden, or you don’t want to be discovered you better hire someone who has plenty of IRS experience.
We know the system inside and out, that s why we are South Florida’s most experienced firm.

There are different ways to settle IRS tax debt and there are generally three programs that the taxpayer can qualify for.
The first is a hardship or currently non-collectible program.
There are good news and bad news about this program. After IRS takes a current documented financial statement, IRS may determine you are not collectible at the current time. IRS will suspend your case for a period of 1 to 3 years and put a freeze on it.
The good news is IRS’s off your back for a couple of years and the bad news is penalties and interest still run on it. With that said, your case will come out for financial review in a couple of years later.
The second program is the installment agreement or monthly payment. After IRS takes a current financial statement they will determine how much money they expect from you on a monthly basis.
The third way to sell your debt is to qualify for an offer in compromise, this is where you can settle your debt for pennies on the dollar.
After review of your current financial statement, we will let you know which of the program to qualify for and start to remove IRS out of your life.
