One day you check your account and realize something’s wrong — a large withdrawal you didn’t make. If it’s from the IRS, you’re likely dealing with a bank levy, one of their most aggressive collection tactics.
When the IRS issues a bank levy, they’ve already sent notices and warnings. By the time money is taken, they’ve decided you’re not responding. The bank must freeze your account, then send available funds to the IRS after a short holding period — usually 21 days.
At BPB Tax Resolutions, we focus on stopping levies before they hit. We work to negotiate payment arrangements, request hardship relief, or challenge the levy if it was issued in error. If the levy has already happened, we act quickly to protect remaining funds and prevent repeat seizures.
The key is speed. Every day matters once a levy is in place. If your account is frozen or you’ve received a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, contact BPB Tax Resolutions immediately to keep the IRS from draining your accounts.
