Bank Levy Release

A bank levy is one of the IRS's most aggressive collection tools. It freezes the funds in your account and, after a holding period, takes them to apply against your tax debt. For most people it arrives as a shock — and it demands an immediate response.

The good news: a levy is not the end of the road. There is a window during which the funds are frozen but not yet gone, and there are several legal grounds to get a levy released. The sooner an attorney is involved, the more options you have.

How we respond to a levy

• We contact the IRS immediately to open communication and assert your rights.
• We identify the grounds for release — hardship, improper notice, or an arrangement in progress.
• We negotiate a resolution (agreement or settlement) that removes the basis for the levy.
• We work to release frozen funds before they're transferred wherever possible.

Grounds to release a levy

• The levy is causing immediate economic hardship.
• You were not properly notified or your appeal rights were violated.
• You've entered an Installment Agreement or pending Offer in Compromise.
• The collection period has expired or the debt is incorrect.

Who this is for

If you've received a levy notice or your account has been frozen, this is time-sensitive. The faster you act, the better the chance of releasing funds and stopping further collection. Don't wait for the holding period to run out — call us the same day.
