The IRS can take a dollar if they feel like it if you have unpaid taxes...and they can do it without notice.

Well, they do have to give you notice. The IRS is required to send Letter 1058 to you, which will be titled "Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing" before they can levy a bank account. You have 30 days from the date of this letter to make arrangments with the IRS. If after 30 days you have not made arrangments, and did not file for an Appeal Hearing (there will be instructions on Form 1058 on how to file the Appeal) the IRS can levy your bank account. Even if it only has $1.00 in it.

The IRS has no way of knowing how much money you have in the bank. What they are going to do is look at what has been reported to them in the past to determine where you have open bank accounts. If you had interest reported to you from a bank last year, that tells them that you probably have a savings account there. That's where they will send a levy. If you have not had any interest reported to you from the bank that you currently have an account at, it is likely that the IRS has no idea where you are banking. They do not issue levies randomly to banks. If they cannot find a bank account, they will move on to your most recent W-2's to determine where you are working now and will likely proceed with a garnishment instead.
