A notice of levy is a notification to a debtor that a creditor has applied to a court for permission to levy the debtors assets. A notice of levy can also come from the Internal Revenue Service if there are any back taxes owed.

Is there anyway to stop an IRS levy?

There is no real way to stop an IRS levy aside from clearing your IRS tax debt. Once a levy notice has been sent, your property will be seized within the month. You can try an Offer of Compromise, which is basically an agreed upon settlement amount, but unless you can prove you don't have the funds to pay in full or in installments this won't go through. Also, if the levy notice has already gone out, by the time the Offer of Compromise is processed your property will probably already by seized. Check out How to Stop an IRS Levy at Howtodothings.com


Need-to-Know Information about a Tax Levy?

If you owe the IRS, a tax levy may be used to satisfy your debt. A tax levy involves the seizure of your real or personal property. The value of the property seized is then used to satisfy your debt. If you have an interest in any real or personal property, then the IRS has the right to seize and sell that property if you do not pay, or make arrangements to pay your taxes. What Kind of Property is Subject to a Tax Levy Examples of different types of property that the IRS may seize include your house, vehicle or boat. The IRS may put a tax levy on any property that you own, even if you do not have possession of that property. Some examples of this type of property include employment wages, bank accounts, income from rental property, and even your retirement accounts. Steps in the Tax Levy Process The first step that the IRS takes in the tax levy process is to assess the amount of tax that you owe and then send you a Notice and Demand for Payment. At this point, if you still fail to pay the taxes that you owe, the IRS will send a Final Notice of Intent to Levy. Along with this notice, the IRS will send you a Notice of Your Right to A Hearing. This notice will be sent to you at least 30 days in advance of implementing the tax levy. Avoiding a Tax Levy If you owe taxes to the IRS that you have not paid, the best option is to take steps to ensure that you do not become subject to a tax levy. Obviously, paying your taxes before the levy is implemented is the best option. If this is not possible, you may be able to avoid a tax levy by filing for bankruptcy. One important thing to consider here is that you must have filed bankruptcy before the IRS sends you the Notice and Demand for Payment.

I am 3 mouths behind on paying my house tax do i get a notice in the mail telling me if my taxes are up for sale?

If they're bing nice, you should get a notice of tax, notice of overdue tax, notice of intent to place a lien, intent to levy, and a notice of final chance to redeem the tax levy prior to tax taking. Then there will be a notice of public sale and the town or the new owner may also serve you with notice of eviction, if you don't buy the deed back and they don't want to rent the property to you. This could all take a year or more.


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!!

How is a tax levy different from a lien on your home?

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. If you owe back taxes, then IRS or State taxing authorities may file a notice of lien and a notice of levy, but they are totally different. Tax levy is much more serious and usually a levy is the last tool that the IRS will use to collect the tax debt. When IRS puts a lien on your home, they are doing this to assure they will get paid if you sell it. Having a tax lien will affluence your credit rating; you may not get a new credit card or sign a new lease because liens are public record. If you get a levy on your home, it means the IRS is taking action to collect the debt.


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!
