Type your answer here... how long will it take for my bank to lift the lien they have on my bank account:

First, a tax lien is different from a tax levy.

Generally, a bank levy is not released until:

  • your tax debts is paid in full
  • you settle a payment plan for your tax debt
  • you can prove that the tax levy will bring you and your family a financial hardship
  • the taxing authorities made some mistakes of the levy and your appealing is approved by the committee

You may have other ways to release the bank levy, but it really depends on your tax debt status and your financial situation.
