What Assets Can the IRS Levy?

By
Education & Training with Number Cruncher LLC

An IRS Levy can be issued against various types of property, including bank accounts, wages, vehicles, real estate, and other personal property.   Once the IRS issues a levy, it will typically freeze the assets or property, and then seize or sell them to satisfy the debt.

It's important to note that the IRS must follow specific procedures and provide proper notice before issuing a levy. Taxpayers have the right to appeal the levy and may be able to negotiate a payment plan or settlement with the IRS to avoid the levy.

If the IRS determines that the levy is causing an immediate financial hardship, it may also release the levy. You have the option of appealing this decision if the IRS rejects your request to release the levy. Before or after the IRS levies your wages, bank account, or other property, you can appeal. You can make a claim to have the money from the levy returned to you after it has been sent to the IRS. Additionally, you have the option of appealing the IRS's denial of your request to have levied property returned to you.

If you or someone you know has received notice of an IRS levy, it's essential to take action quickly to avoid losing your property or assets.   I can help you resolve this IRS problem. Contact me at 702-469-9426 or candy@numbercruncherllc.tax.

HI Endre Barath, Jr.. Yes the IRS has rules they must follow.  Sometimes there are IRS agents who feel they have all the power and don't follow protocol. That's when you ask to speak to their supervisor or manager, which most people don't know.  The taxpayers must know their rights when dealing with the IRS to keep them in line.   If a taxpayer feels they are not being treated fairly, its a good idea to hire a specialist who knows how to deal with the IRS.

IRS can’t levy illegal immigrants working for cash. It just goes after Americans that fall behind on taxes
