Bank Levy
IRS Bank Levy Help in St. Louis, MO
An IRS bank levy can create an immediate financial emergency. When a levy is issued, the IRS directs a bank or financial institution to freeze funds in an account and send the available money to the government after the required holding period.
A bank levy may affect your ability to pay rent, make mortgage payments, cover payroll, purchase necessities, or continue regular business operations. Davis Tax Relief helps individuals and businesses in St. Louis respond to levy notices and explore available options for protecting their financial stability.
Before issuing most bank levies, the IRS generally sends notices demanding payment and warning that collection action may occur. A Final Notice of Intent to Levy may also explain your right to request a hearing. Because these notices can involve strict deadlines, waiting to respond may limit the options available.
Davis Tax Relief can review the levy, examine your IRS account, and determine whether the collection action may be challenged or released. We can communicate with the IRS on your behalf, explain your financial circumstances, and provide supporting documentation when necessary.
A levy release may be considered when the collection action creates an immediate economic hardship, the liability has been resolved, an acceptable payment arrangement is established, or another qualifying circumstance applies. A release is not automatic, and the taxpayer may still need to resolve the underlying tax balance.
Once the bank’s holding period has passed and the funds have been sent to the IRS, recovering the money may become more difficult. This makes it important to act as soon as you discover that an account has been frozen.
After addressing the immediate levy, Davis Tax Relief can help evaluate a longer-term solution. That may involve an installment agreement, Currently Not Collectible status, an Offer in Compromise, penalty relief, or another option based on the taxpayer’s finances.
