What Is a Tax Levy for Tax Debt Collection?

A tax levy is an aggressive IRS action that seizes assets – such as bank accounts, wages, or property – to recover unpaid tax debt after failed payment attempts. The IRS issues a Notice of Intent to Levy, giving you 30 days to respond before seizure begins, potentially freezing accounts or garnishing income. 

Consequences include severe financial disruption, like inability to pay bills or loss of savings. Solutions include negotiating payment plans, securing Currently Not Collectible status, or appealing the levy. Part of the IRS Fresh Start Initiative, levy relief options can prevent asset loss if acted on quickly. For broader relief strategies, visit our IRS Fresh Start Program page.
