The favorite IRS method of getting your attention - and your money - is the IRS Wage Levy. Their second most favorite method of rattling your cage is with their IRS Bank Levy. Let us help put a stop to IRS bank levy, 100% guaranteed or you don't pay us a dime.
Imagine going to the store to buy something as simple as a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk. Whip out your debit card or write a check to pay for them. No big deal, right? After all, your paycheck was deposited two days ago and you're flush with cash, right?
Wrong! The cashier informs you that your check has been refused or you see that your debit card payment won't clear. For five bucks???? You slink out of the store hoping no one sees your red face. You go online or call the bank to see what the heck is going on. You find out that IRS has levied your bank account for the $13,658.64 you owe on back taxes. You only had $1,259.04 in the bank (or whatever) but you know that $652.56 on three checks hasn't cleared your account yet. Perhaps for the first time in your life, you're willing to call IRS to beg for your money back. Nope! "I'm sorry, but our policy is not to release bank levies under any circumstances." (This is the absolute truth, too.) Your bank is required to freeze all the money in your account(s) up to the amount of the levy (that's the grand total of everything you owe IRS) for 21 days. Then, if IRS has not issued a Bank Levy Release, your bank must send that money to IRS. So the clock is ticking and IRS has already told you "No" when you asked, pleaded, and begged them to let you pay for your car, your groceries, your rent, your utilities, your kid's school project, your nails, etc. |
