FAQs
How long do I have before the IRS levies my bank account?
Once the Final Notice of Intent to Levy is sent, the IRS must wait 30 days before taking action—but they don’t have to send another warning.
Can I reverse a bank levy?
If action is taken quickly and the levy was premature or improper, we may be able to recover funds or stop further seizures.
Will my bank tell me before funds are taken?
Usually not. The IRS sends a notice directly to your bank, which must comply after the holding period.
