Why would the IRS put a freeze on your bank accounts?

If you are confident that you know that the IRS is the agency now in charge of your bank account, it may be that you owe the IRS money. Best practices dictate that you call the IRS and work out the details of your situation with them.


How is the IRS associated with the banks?

The IRS is not legally linked with the banking industry. The IRS uses banking information that is given them when you have interest earned on a bank account. The banks report the interest via a 1099 INT. The only time the IRS will use that information is when you have been negligent in paying your taxes. Part of the due collection process of the IRS is to issue bank levies against your account and collect all the money in your account for that one instant in time when the levy is issued. To avoid a bank levy when you owe back taxes you must be in a resolution with the IRS for the taxes you owe.

Will the IRS take YOUR tax refund due to delinquent home loan?

No. The IRS doesn't take your tax refund unless you owe the government money, government insured student loan arrears or child support arrears. It does not collect money on behalf of banks. However, if you deposit your check in your bank account it can be frozen by a creditor and the funds taken.

You are trustee for your daughter's bank account the account name reads my name as trustee for daughter's name can IRS levy it for taxes you owe?

Probably not...however if they can show the funds in it were actually yours...then of course...and then the problems with commingling money as a trustee will start. That involves actual law inforcement, not the IRS.


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!


Can the IRS arrest you?

If you have received a phone call, claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service, telling you that you owe taxes, threatening you with arrest if you do not pay immediately- it is a scam. First, the IRS does not call you- you get a registered letter. Second, you are not arrested for owing money- you CAN be hauled into court for evading taxes. If you owe the IRS money, and they want it, they can take it without your permission. They have the power to take your paycheck, your bank account, your car and your house.
