There are generally two types of levies.

 
The IRS will send both of these levies out when working an open collection case.
The first type of levy is a wage garnishment levy.
The reason this levy is different is because it is a continuous levy.
It activates each and every paycheck period. It does not stop until the levy is released or until you quit.
The IRS by no means wants to take your paycheck each and every week, but does so because it has no choice until you get into compliance with their system.
The second type of levy is a bank or third party levy.
It takes effect only on the date, place, and time of service. It is a one time shot. To seize monies from this place again, the IRS must send out a new tax levy.
 
If you have received an IRS bank levy or wage garnishment,  call us today and as a general rule within 24 hours of receiving your current financial statement and full documentation we can get your IRS bank levy and wage garnishment released in your case closed.
Please keep in mind all your tax returns will have to be up-to-date with the Internal Revenue Service.
