The Tax Levy Holding Period on a Bank Account

 
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.
For the record , “Bank” includes credit unions, savings and loan associations, trust companies, etc..  During the holding period, a levy might be released, or the amount owed could decrease.
 

Bank Account Levies – Amount that Must be Surrendered to the IRS

 
The bank must send the amount in the taxpayer’s accounts.
A bank levy attaches to any property or rights to property that belong to the taxpayer or on which there is a Federal tax lien, unless it is exempt. It must send no more than the amount shown on the notice of tax levy.
 

By Law, Tax Levy on Bank Accounts

 
By law banks cannot immediately honor the IRS levy. Thank god for the 21 day holding period.
Per IRS and their manual IRM 5.11.4.1, Holding Period, for guidance on the holding period after a bank levy. That period is 21 days.
 

For important information on the Levy seizure process of the IRS

 
The notice of levy only reaches the amount on deposit when the levy is received.
Money deposited later is not surrendered, including deposits during the holding period. Another tax bank levy must be served to reach this money.
Also, the bank tax levy only reaches deposits that have cleared and are available for the taxpayer to withdraw.
Levy proceeds must not be reduced by any fee charged by the bank.
At the end of the 21 days if the bank does not receive a release a Levy from the Internal Revenue Service bank then sends the money to IRS.
 

Requirements – Bank Identification of Property and Rights to Property

 
The instructions on Form 668-A, Notice of Levy, require the recipient to:
“Make a reasonable effort to identify all property and rights to property belonging to this person. At a minimum, search your records using the taxpayer’s name, address, and identifying number(s) shown on this form.”
 
Important Note – The instructions do not require a perfect match of all information.
In the event there is a question regarding what the levy attaches, the bank should contact the revenue officer or IRS employee whose name appears on the levy.
A bank levy attaches to the property of the taxpayer named on the levy. Even though the TIN on the bank account does not match the TIN on the levy.
The Taxpayer ID Number is not the sole indicator of the taxpayer’s property or right to property in a bank account.
Multiple factors may be considered to validate ownership,:
1. including similar names,
2. addresses, entity types and other identifying characteristics.
In some cases, it may be reasonable for the depository to identify an account based on a single matching identifier. In other cases, it may be appropriate for the depository to corroborate one matching identifier by matching one or more additional identifiers.
It would be reasonable for the depositary to call the contact number on the levy for guidance.
