IRS levy help
A levy is one of the most serious IRS collection actions. PUBLIC TAX, CORP helps taxpayers review levy notices, understand deadlines, restore filing compliance when needed, and evaluate practical options for getting collection activity released, reduced, or resolved.
A wage levy can send part of a paycheck to the IRS until the balance is addressed or the levy is released. We help review the notice, account status, and possible resolution paths.
A bank levy can freeze funds and create a narrow window to act before money is sent to the IRS. Prompt review matters when a checking, savings, or business account is levied.
A levy usually means the IRS believes prior notices were ignored or unresolved. The long-term goal is not only to address the levy but also to resolve the underlying tax balance.
Collection action requires attention
Levy problems often involve more than one issue: unpaid balances, missing returns, ignored IRS letters, expired appeal deadlines, or financial hardship. A structured review helps determine what can realistically be done next.
Final notices, bank levy holding periods, and appeal windows can affect the available options.
Unfiled returns can limit resolution choices until required tax returns are prepared and filed.
Hardship, payment ability, and collection alternatives often depend on income, expenses, assets, and documents.
A levy release is only part of the issue. The underlying balance still needs a practical tax resolution strategy.

Yes. A wage levy can require an employer to send part of your wages to the IRS. A release may be possible if the tax is resolved, a payment arrangement is accepted, or the levy creates qualifying hardship.
The bank generally freezes funds in the account and holds them before sending them to the IRS. This period is often the best time to review options, address errors, or request a release if appropriate.
A levy may be released when the balance is paid, an acceptable resolution is approved, the levy is improper, or the levy creates qualifying economic hardship. The correct approach depends on the account facts and documents.
