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.


You are in Missouri your wifes bank account has been levied your state refund and federal refund went in during the levy you know they will get some of the money but the tax returns are in both names.?

So I assume, that your saying that you filed a joint tax return and the refund hit your wife's individual account. Could be a tricky one, for starters you will need to file a motion with the courts to challenge the levy and explain your story, and you have a "chance" to get your money released from the hold. However, if your wife was the primary filer and the IRS sent the money just in her name then you might not win the argument.
