Is a bank account levy good for only one time or will the account holder have to forfeit the funds of every paycheck?
In the majority of U.S. states a bank account levy is valid for one withdrawal withing 30 days of the date of execution. If the debt is not satisfied the judgment holder must refile the judgment as another bank levy. Generally a bank account levy can only be executed once 60-90 days after the original action. Unfortunately, in most cases the judgment holder can remove whatever amount necessary from the account to pay the debt, even if that means the account holder is left with no funds. This is only one reason that a bank account levy can be so damaging. Specific laws apply to joint accounts as to how and when the account can be levied when only one account holder is the judgment debtor.
How can one remove an IRS tax levy?
The best way to not have an IRS tax levy is to pay one's taxes in full when they are due. Once a levy is in place, one can remove it by paying a lump sum equal to the amount owed or by setting up an installment payment plan directly with the IRS.
Can you reopen a bank account that's been closed?
No. Once a bank account is closed, the account number remains unused by the bank for seven or more years (it varies by individual bank). You may reopen a new account with the same bank, provided the first account was not closed by the bank for improprieties perpetrated by you.
Is there anyway to stop an IRS levy?
There is no real way to stop an IRS levy aside from clearing your IRS tax debt. Once a levy notice has been sent, your property will be seized within the month. You can try an Offer of Compromise, which is basically an agreed upon settlement amount, but unless you can prove you don't have the funds to pay in full or in installments this won't go through. Also, if the levy notice has already gone out, by the time the Offer of Compromise is processed your property will probably already by seized. Check out How to Stop an IRS Levy at Howtodothings.com
What do you do when you have a wage levy from the IRS but your tax refund should cover the amount owed?
It can take up to six weeks for the IRS to post the refund credit and then transfer the credit to the period with the liability. Once this is done the levy will be released and any over payments from the levy will be returned. Unless you are working with a local revenue agent you need to call the IRS directly at 800-829-7650 or 800-829-3903 to speed up the process. These are the numbers to IRS collections department. They may ask you to fax a copy of the return to them but in any event they should release the levy immediately. I say should because IRS collections agents are tough and it may take repeated calls or the help of a tax attorney, like myself.

Can your Federal tax refund be garnished by collectors?
Not directly. Once the funds have been deposited into a bank account a judgment creditor could levy the account for the debt owed. There are several factors that come into play when it relates to the attachment of a bank account by judgment creditors. For example, how the account is set up, JT, JTWRS, TBE, and so forth. The majority of U.S. states only allow a creditor to levy and account once. After that the creditor has to return to court and have the judgment refiled as a second levy if the full amount of the debt was not obtained in the original action.
Can your wages be garnished by more than one creditor?
A bank account can be garnished by one creditor at a time. Levies on bank accounts remain until the debt is paid in full. They can put a "freeze" on your bank acct everyday if they want.

What's the next step when you've had a levy placed on your checking and all the money is gone?
This has occurred recently to me. I called the bank to find out who placed the levy on my account. I then called the sheriffs office who handled the levy, who gave me file number and the attorneys office to contact. I immediately contacted the attorney who handled the judgment filing. I arranged to make payment arrangements with the attorney, and have the debt cleared. In addition, my specific bank takes what is left in my account and transfers the money over. I can immediately once again begin using my account until the creditor once again files AA of the paperwork for another levy. Contact the attorneys immediately and try to rectify your situation.
What is a release of levy?
A release of levy or certificate of levy release is issued once either a liability is paid in full or you reach a formal agreement to start paying back your debt. In which case the certificate of levy release is faxed to your employer and /or bank instructing them to release the monies levied (in the case of a bank levy) or to stop garnishing a portion of your paycheck (in the case of a wage levy.) In order for the IRS to issue one of these (if you are dealing with a federal tax liability) you will have to negotiate either an installment agreement or provide documentation and negotiate a Currently not Collectible status with them. This status tells the IRS to stop garnishing and or enforcing collections since you cannot afford to either pay the debt or enter an installment agreement. Finally, a wage or bank levy can be released if you can show the IRS that you will loose your home, be evicted or have your water disconnected if the levy continues or take place. This is done by filing form 911 with the IRS. See the Related Link to a blog with all sorts of information about taxes.
Can a levy be put on a bank account containing va disability pay?
Yes, any assett you hold can be levied by court order. Once the payment is made to you regardless of where it came from, and once it is deposited into a bank account, it is your assett and subject to attachment. Mildly unrelated, if you have sizable outstanding debt with existing orders for payment or levy, your best bet is to stop using the account for savings, convert your monthly payments to check to you (as opposed to check to bank), and deal in cash transactions only. This is only a stop-gap method, but it may give you some breathing room.

Can IRS garnish unemployment checks?
No, but they sometimes do. If you are being garnished, the amount that you are receiving in your paycheck is the amount that is exempt from levy. They cannot turn around and then levy that money again once you put it in the bank (that's double-dipping). Call the IRS and explain to them what's going on and they'll probably release one or the other. Better yet, call them up and set up alternative arrangments and they will release both. Of course, if you had a bank account with money in it other than your wages (a savings account, for example) they can hit both of those at once. You are going to have to prove that they levied the exempt money.
