Tax Debt Help Needed - How Can I Stop an Irs Bank Levy?
Mansi Gupta asked:
The IRS does give you ample warning that they intend to levy your bank account. You undoubtedly received the notice and demand for payment from the IRS which included the amount you owed in back taxes. You probably did not contact the IRS at that time, and that was very important. The next communication you received was called the “Final Notice” which did express their Intent to Levy and also included a notice of your right to a hearing after the levy has been placed. That final notice arrives 30 days before the IRS actually talks with your bank and proceeds with freezing your accounts. It comes in the form of a certified letter directly from the IRS. If you are now facing the impending crisis of the IRS bank levy, then you have obviously procrastinated the handling of your IRS past due tax problem (probably because you did not have the money to pay the back taxes). All is not lost and it is still possible to stop the IRS levy. However, the time to act is right now. You need fast, professional tax debt help and you have just 21 days to get this handled, and the clock is counting down each day!
An IRS levy is clearly one of the most powerful collection tools in the IRS arsenal and the IRS bank levy can be incredibly frightening when the freeze is actually implemented. Once the IRS freezes your bank account, you have no access to your funds. They are waiting for the “21 days to expire” before they withdraw these funds to pay your delinquent tax debt bill. Any personal bills that you have that need to be paid in this timeframe will not get paid. In fact, you will probably be hit with insufficient funds fees and the refusal of any preset automated debits you have set up on your account to pay for goods/services. Even the newly deposited funds that come in as paycheck direct deposits will be frozen once they are received by your bank! The IRS intends to be paid the back tax money that you owe, one way or the other. Keep in mind that your bank is required by law to comply with the IRS bank levy and hold all funds that have been deposited into your bank accounts. They will not be able to provide you with any tax debt help in this matter.
During the 21 day period, it is now prudent to seek expert IRS tax debt help so that a tax attorney or tax specialist is able to negotiate with the IRS to release the funds. Unless an IRS bank levy release is obtained, once the 21 day period has expired, the bank sends the money to the IRS and you will never get it back. You may also consider contacting the Taxpayers Advocate in your area. This would require you to complete paperwork to prove economic hardship in hopes of having the IRS bank levy “lifted” or released. Time is of the essence and your financial future does hang in the balance.
Other Important Things You Need to Know About an IRS Levy:
· How does the IRS know where I bank? The IRS knows your banks accounts from the 1099’s that are filed every year with your tax returns. Even if your tax returns are unfiled, they have still received those 1099’s from the financial institutions themselves.
What other accounts might be affected? Certificates of Deposit and any account where you have your name and social security number listed. Keep in mind that if you have joint accounts for whatever reason, with family members or even friends, those will be subject to the IRS bank levy also.
What types of accounts are excluded from an IRS Levy? Life Insurance, Worker’s Compensation, Benefits received from the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, and Scholarships or Grants.
Will the IRS levy both my bank account and my wages too? The IRS does not typically levy both your bank accounts and your wages. They intend to be paid for your delinquent taxes, but they must leave you just enough to live on, and while they “can” enforce an IRS levy on your wages and your bank accounts, they don’t tend to collect past due taxes in this manner.

Tax Debt Help - How I Settled My Income Tax Debt Case
Mark Yarbrough asked:
Do you need tax debt help? Well, take a deep breath. One experience you never want to have is getting a letter from the IRS informing you that you owe income tax debt. It can be a real shock to get such a letter. However, I can say from personal experience that it may not be as bad as you first think. If you owe the government back taxes, first of all don’t panic, relax, the IRS is helpful and will work with you to resolve your income tax debt.
In my case my ex-wife had claimed my son on her taxes in 2006 without telling me, I won’t try to explain why she did that, (I have trouble explaining most of what she does). I had been the sole legal guardian of my son for some 15 years and things had not changed in any way in 2006. Nevertheless, after talking with IRS representative, it became evident that I would have to prove that my son lived with me, and that I took proper care of him.
This involved filling out an income vs. expense form, getting forms from his school showing he lived at my address, and supplying a copy of my 2006 income tax return and other personal information. The IRS representative who worked on my case was patient, helpful and objective. After I submitted the proper forms the debt was quickly canceled. After everything was settled it became evident to me that I did a lot of worrying and stressing over something that was resolved without an attorney, just with the aid of the IRS professional and only about five or six hours work. Ok, my case was fairly simple and was easily worked out. The point of my story and my aim in telling it is to demonstrate that if you owe the IRS taxes it doesn’t mean that you are under some form of attack or that anyone is out to get you. The only real damage done may be the stress you put yourself through, so take your time and gather all the facts of your particular situation and adopt a wait and see attitude after you have submitted all relevant information.
Tax debt is something that you can’t escape through bankruptcy, but if there’s no mistake and you really owe the money, the IRS may be willing to work out a repayment plan or settlement of some sort. You may need to borrow some money from the equity in your home. If that’s not possible, you may have some personal items you can sell, a late-model automobile you can trade out of, or possibly a relative who can help you out over the short-term.
If the sum owed is a considerable amount, it is very advisable to consult a tax professional who can examine your case in detail and discuss various solutions. A tax professional can help you submit whatever documentation is needed to process your case. Check the author’s section below for a professional, quick and free online tax debt help consultation.
