Stop IRS levy/Wage Garnishment
An IRS levy can create an immediate financial crisis.
Unlike many creditors, the IRS has powerful administrative collection tools that may allow it to levy wages, bank accounts, and certain other assets after required procedures have been followed.
If you have received a Final Notice of Intent to Levy or your wages or bank account are already being levied, time matters.

Facing an IRS Wage Levy or Bank Levy?
FAQs
Can the IRS garnish my wages for unpaid taxes?
The IRS can levy wages after applicable collection procedures and notice requirements have been satisfied. A continuing wage levy can generally affect future paychecks until it is released or the underlying collection matter is otherwise resolved.
Can an IRS wage levy be stopped?
Depending on the circumstances, there may be options for preventing or seeking release of a levy. The appropriate strategy depends on collection status, filing compliance, financial circumstances, deadlines, and the underlying tax liability.
What should I do if I receive a Final Notice of Intent to Levy?
Do not ignore it. Review the notice immediately because it may provide important appeal rights and deadlines. Seeking professional assistance early can provide more time to evaluate available options.
What happens if the IRS levies my bank account?
A bank levy can result in funds being held before they are ultimately sent to the IRS. Because important time limits apply, taxpayers facing a bank levy should address the matter promptly.
Can financial hardship help get an IRS levy released?
The IRS may release a levy when certain requirements are met, including situations in which the levy creates qualifying economic hardship. Eligibility depends on the taxpayer's specific financial circumstances.
