See link below. You've only got 21 days before the bank forwards the money to the IRS so you need to move fast.

If the IRS has put a hold on your money in your checking account, it usually means that you owe taxes. In such a case, the best course of action is to contact the IRS to understand the reason for the hold and work out a resolution. You may need to consult with a tax professional if the issue is complex or if you need assistance with negotiating a payment plan or resolving any disputes.

If the mortgage lender and the checking account bank are the same does it help to open an account elsewhere to avoid them taking money from the account for delinquent payments?
it is my understanding that the only people who can take money from your account without your permission are the IRS to pay back taxes. unless you sign somthing giving the bank permission to take money out of your checking account I don't think they can do it. make sure you read the fine print of any loan document so you know that you are not giving them the right to take money out of your checking account.

Can the IRS freeze your checking account if you owe them money?
I don't believe so. They will make sure they get paid by garnishing your wages though. Hope this helps a little. The IRS can issue a Notice of Levy to your bank. It doesn't "freeze" your bank accounts, per se. What it does is require the bank to turn over any money that is in your bank account at the moment the Notice of Levy is received. Any money you deposit after the Notice of Levy is received remains yours, the IRS only gets what was there when the bank got the notice. Banks are required to hold that money aside for 21 days, and then turn it over to the IRS. This means that you have a 21 day window to convince the IRS to release the levy, and if you can get them to do that the bank will return the money to your account. After the 21st day the bank sends the money to the IRS -- at that point it is almost impossible to get your money back, so act quickly!
