Facts that you should know about an IRS Bank Levy

 

A Notice of Intent to Levy was sent to your last known address, the one that IRS had on file. By law the IRS is required to do this.

You had 30 days to respond to this notice. Many times taxpayers never received these IRS notices on back taxes.

As a result, IRS sent a Levy Notice out to a bank source the IRS has in their file. The IRS collection computer sends out all these notices.

Once the Federal Tax Levy hits your bank account, you have 21 days in which to take care of the problem. The bank puts a hold or a freeze on your account.

The IRS will expect you to contact them within that 21 day period. The only reason the IRS levy was sent was because there is an unresolved IRS issue that needs to be resolved.

IRS is going to want a current financial statement before they will release the Federal Tax Levy on your bank account. They will request a 433A or a 433F Information Collection Statement. The form must be filled out entirely and you will have to provide supporting documentation for some of the expenses.

Another important factor is to make sure all your tax returns are up to date.

IRS will not release the bank levy until all tax returns are filed. If you do not have your records, Fresh Start Tax can obtain the information to complete all necessary returns that the IRS is looking for within a couple of days.

We get full transcripts and income verification from the IRS to prepare your unfiled tax returns.

The IRS Bank Levy

 

Holding Period for a IRS Bank Levy

By Federal Law, a bank must wait 21 calendar days after a levy is served before sending payment. Then, on the next business day, it must turn over the taxpayer’s money.

The depositor(s) can waive this waiting period. The bank will not send money that is subject to attachment or execution under judicial process. “Bank” includes credit unions, savings and loan associations, trust companies, and others described in IRC 408(n) and Treas. Reg. §301.6332–3(b).

During the holding period, a levy might be released, or the amount owed could decrease.

If the bank receives no release, it must send the payment after the holding period.

No additional notice is required.

 

The Role of the Bank Liaison for the IRS Bank Levy

money is sent.

Assign a bank liaison in each territory to settle these issues quickly.
Sometimes ownership is not settled before the holding period ends. If this happens, ask the bank for more time.

 

Problems can exist for Multiple Signature Authority for a Bank Account for Levy purposes

 

A levy served to a bank attaches to funds in a bank account for which the taxpayer has an unrestricted right to withdraw funds (signature authority) – even if multiple persons have signature authority for that bank account.

As noted in Treasury Regulation 301.6332–1(c)(4) the unrestricted right to withdraw funds is an interest which is subject to levy.

An example.

A bank is served with a notice of levy for an unpaid tax liability due from the taxpayer in the amount of $2,000. The bank holds $2,000 in a checking account in the names of a taxpayer and a third-party.

Although all of the deposits into the account were made by the third-party, the taxpayer has an unrestricted right to withdraw the funds from the account. The bank may send the Service the entire account balance at the end of the 21 day holding period.

The bank is not liable to the third-party for any amount, even if the third-party proves that the funds in the account did not belong to the taxpayer, because the taxpayer’s un-re stricted right to withdraw the funds is an interest which is subject to levy.

The third-party may, however, seek the return of the funds from the United States by making an administrative wrongful levy claim under IRC 6343(b) or file a suit under IRC 7426(a)(1) should the administrative claim be denied.

A non-liable third-party may claim ownership of funds in a bank account when multiple people hold signature authority for that bank account. Treat this dispute as a potential wrongful levy.

A wrongful levy is a levy that improperly attaches property belonging to a third party in which the taxpayer has no rights.

For bank levies if additional time is needed beyond the 21 day hold period to determine ownership, request the bank hold the funds.

Provide the potentially wrongfully levied party a deadline date for providing substantiation and provide the bank with a specific extension date to forward the funds.

 

Amount that Must be Surrendered on the IRS Bank Levy

 

The bank must send the amount in the taxpayer’s accounts. A bank levy attaches to any property or rights to property that belong to the taxpayer or on which there is a Federal tax lien, unless it is exempt. See IRC 6331, Levy and Distraint , for legal authority to levy. However, it must send no more than the amount shown on the notice of levy.

By law, banks cannot immediately honor the IRS levy. See IRM 5.11.4.1, Holding Period, for guidance on the holding period after a bank levy.

The notice of levy only reaches the amount on deposit when the levy is received. Money deposited latter is not surrendered, including deposits during the holding period. Another levy must be served to reach this money

Also, the levy only reaches deposits that have cleared and are available for the taxpayer to withdraw.

Levy proceeds must not be reduced by any fee charged by the bank for processing the levy.
