Yes, the IRS can levy an account even if you are not the primary account holder, provided you are a joint account holder or have access to the funds. If the account is solely in the name of another person, the IRS typically cannot levy it for your tax debts. However, if the funds belong to you or are considered part of your assets, the IRS may still take action to collect on your tax liabilities. Always consult a tax professional for specific situations.

Simple answer: yes, the IRS can levy anyone, anything, anywhere, anytime. Pay them what you owe, or they will take it...

Why would the IRS levy a bank account?

The IRS would levy a bank account if the bank account holder had not paid his or her taxes. However, the IRS wouldn't do this unless they had exhausted all other means to collect. They would first send the taxpayer a notice that taxes had been assessed and demand payment. It the taxpayer ignored this notice the IRS would send another notice letting the taxpayer know it was their intention to levy his or her bank account, or other property. This would be sent 30 days before they actually levied the account. Don't ignore letters from the IRS!!

Can the US Government seize a bank account without a warrant?

The IRS, at least, can. The IRS is specifically allowed to issue what's called a "levy" against a bank account without the need to go to court (there are other procedures that must be followed, but technically there's no warrant issued; it's a purely administrative rather than judicial process). This may technically not qualify as a "seizure" of the account, since the levy amounts to, basically, a draft for a specific amount (as if the IRS was "writing a check" against your account), rather than the entire contents of the account. If you have more money in the account than the levy is for, the remainder will be untouched (except that banks are allowed to charge you fees for processing a levy).
