401k and IRAs are "Assets", the IRS can levy assets and seize them if you do not resolve your tax matters.
You can resolve your back taxes through different avenues, negotiated payment plans and negotiated tax settlements.
Added:
If you have unresolved tax debt, IRS is authorized to seize any property and assets, even they are held by someone else. So it means, they can levy your wages, retirement accounts, dividends, bank accounts, licenses, rental income, accounts receivables, the cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions. Usually levy is the last tool that IRS would use to get back taxes. So if you get a letter called "Final Notice of Intent to Levy", you should be careful.

Is the buyer of a foreclosure home responsible for any back taxes still owed?
As a technical legal rule, the answer is that the buyer of a foreclosure home is not personally liable for back taxes that remain owed. However, the back taxes may well still serve as a lien on the property that can be foreclosed by the taxing authority. In other words, the government cannot make you pay the taxes, but they can take the property from you if the taxes are not paid. As a result, the real world answer is that the buyer of a foreclosed home is responsible for any back taxes still owed. Before you purchase foreclosed property, it is always a good idea to check the tax records to see if any back taxes are still owed. If they are, plan on paying them off as soon as possible.

Levy is by a county or municipality for taxes owed. A lien is for money owed on a home or money borrowed against the home.

Tax levy is much more serious and usually a levy is the last tool that the IRS will use to collect the tax debt.
