Understanding Bank Levy

An IRS bank levy is a legal seizure of funds in your bank account to satisfy unpaid tax debt. When the IRS issues a levy, your bank must freeze your account for 21 days, during which time you can negotiate with the IRS. After 21 days, the bank sends the frozen funds to the IRS. This can devastate your business operations, payroll, and vendor relationships overnight.

IRS Authority: IRC § 6331

What Happens If You Don't Act

Complete freeze of business operating funds
Inability to make payroll or pay vendors
Bounced checks and damaged business credit
Potential business closure if payroll cannot be met
Additional bank fees and penalties

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an IRS bank levy?

An IRS bank levy is a legal action where the IRS seizes money directly from your bank account to pay unpaid tax debt. Your bank must freeze your account for 21 days before sending funds to the IRS.

How long do I have to respond to a bank levy?

You have 21 days from when the levy is received by your bank. During this 21-day holding period, you can take action to release the levy before your funds are permanently seized.

Can I settle this for less than I owe?

Yes, in many cases. Through an Offer in Compromise or by demonstrating economic hardship, we can often negotiate a release of the levy and resolve your tax debt for less than the full amount owed.
