UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE
A levy is different from a tax lien
A federal tax lien is a legal claim securing the government’s interest in property. A levy is an actual legal seizure of property or rights to property to satisfy a tax debt. The appropriate response depends on the notice, deadline, tax periods, and your current financial circumstances.
Official IRS guidance
Rules and eligibility can change. We use current account facts and applicable IRS guidance when evaluating your case.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IRS Levy Help FAQ
These answers are general information. Your IRS notices, transcripts, deadlines, and financial facts control the strategy for your case.
Can the IRS take money from my bank account?
Yes. A levy can legally seize funds or other property rights to satisfy delinquent federal tax debt, subject to applicable procedures and exemptions.
Can an IRS levy be released?
In some circumstances, yes. A release may be available if the levy was improper, the liability is resolved, an acceptable collection arrangement is established, or the levy creates qualifying economic hardship.
How much time do I have after a Final Notice of Intent to Levy?
Many final levy notices provide a 30-day period for requesting a Collection Due Process hearing. The exact notice and mailing date should be reviewed promptly.
Should I ignore the notice if I cannot pay in full?
No. Inability to pay in full does not mean you have no options. Payment arrangements, hardship status, offers, and appeal rights may be available depending on the facts.
