Stop an IRS Wage Garnishment or Bank Levy
If the IRS is taking your paycheck or froze your bank account, time matters. Our Enrolled Agents contact the IRS quickly to request a release and put a resolution in place.
How an IRS levy works
Before levying, the IRS must send a Final Notice of Intent to Levy (LT11 or Letter 1058), which gives you 30 days to request a Collection Due Process hearing. A wage levy continues every pay period until it is released. A bank levy freezes the funds in your account, and the bank holds them for 21 days before sending them to the IRS — a short window to act.
Getting the levy released
The IRS will usually release a levy once a payment plan is set up, if the levy causes economic hardship, or once the account is otherwise resolved. We gather what the IRS needs, request the release, and set up a plan you can afford so the levy doesn't come back.
