A bank levy is a legal action taken by the IRS to seize funds from a taxpayer’s bank account to pay off a delinquent tax debt.
You can request a release of a bank levy by submitting a Form 668-W, Release of Levy/Release of Property from Levy, to the IRS. You may also be able to negotiate a payment plan or offer in compromise to resolve the tax debt and have the levy lifted.
The IRS has 21 days to release a bank levy after receiving a Form 668-W. However, it may take longer if there are complications with your case or if the IRS needs additional information.
The IRS can seize the entire amount in your bank account if it exceeds the amount of your delinquent tax debt. However, they are required to leave you with a minimum amount of exempt funds, such as Social Security benefits.
If your bank account does not have enough funds to pay off your tax debt, the IRS may still continue to pursue collection actions, such as wage garnishment or seizure of assets.
