A bank levy notice gives you exactly 21 days before the IRS instructs your bank to turn over frozen funds. Our team knows what it takes to get a release in time — all handled by phone, no office visit needed.
A bank levy is a one-time seizure order instructing your financial institution to freeze the funds in your account and hold them for 21 days. At the end of that period, the bank remits the frozen amount to the IRS unless the levy is released first. Unlike wage garnishments, a single bank levy captures only the funds present on the levy date.
To obtain a levy release, there must be a resolution path in place: a payment arrangement, an accepted OIC, CNC hardship status, or a formal appeal. We file Form 2848 immediately, establish contact with the responsible IRS unit, and move to secure the release before the funds are remitted. The IRS levy and lien resource page details taxpayer rights during the levy process.
Call us as soon as you receive a levy notice. Every day inside that 21-day window matters. You will be connected with a specialist right away during business hours at (505) 420-3320. No appointment needed.
If funds have already been remitted, recovery is possible in limited circumstances: wrongful levy claims under IRC Section 6343, erroneous levy claims, or offset bypass refund requests. These are time-sensitive legal procedures. Call us immediately.
Releasing the current levy stops the immediate problem but does not resolve the underlying debt. We address both simultaneously: release the levy and establish a permanent resolution through installment agreement, OIC, or CNC status. The Taxpayer Advocate Service can be invoked in emergency situations where standard IRS channels are not responding in time.
