Definition of an IRS Tax Levy – An IRS tax levy, under United States Federal law, is an administrative action by the IRS to seize property to satisfy a tax liability.

What Can The IRS Levy – The IRS can levy wages, bank accounts, accounts receivable, social security payments, insurance proceeds, real property, and a personal residence (in some cases). The IRS can levy upon assets that are in the possession of the taxpayer, which is called a seizure. The IRS can also levy upon assets that are in the possession of a third party such as your bank or a brokerage house.

What is Exempt from an IRS Tax Levy – Unemployment benefits, worker's compensation, certain pension and annuity payments, certain services-connected disability payments, certain public assistance payments. For a more comprehensive listing, see our Resources Information.

IRS Notice and Demand – This is the IRS Notice which includes the assessed tax and is the formal final demand for payment to the IRS.

Final Notice of Intent To Levy – This IRS Notice is sent to you at least 30 days in advance of the levy. This advance notice is intended to give you the thirty days to contest the IRS tax levy if it is erroneous. Unfortunately, the IRS can freeze the assets during this waiting period. The IRS tax notice will clearly describe the tax levy procedures, your options for avoiding the IRS tax levy (i.e. beginning installment payments for overdue tax) and the steps for redeeming property if it is seized by the IRS.

IRS Wage Levy – The IRS wage levy is filed with your employer (Order to Withhold Notice) and remains in effect until the IRS notifies the employer that that wage levy has been released (or “lifted”). These levies are typically referred to as a “continuous levy”. There is a specific formula that your employer is mandated to use to calculate the portion of your net paycheck which will be remitted directly to the IRS via the IRS wage garnishment. An IRS wage levy typically takes up to 80% of your net paycheck, leaving you with little to nothing for basic living expenses. This IRS wage levy can quickly be financially ruinous and you need to stop the IRS wage levy if at all possible. Contact our IRS levy specialists today for a free evaluation.
