Bank Levies—Tax Relief Lawyers in Louisiana

The IRS Sent My A Levy Notice! What Do I Do?

It’s frightening to see every penny you have seized by the IRS to pay your tax bill. You may not even know that your money is gone until you are trying to pay for dinner or trying to pay for gas to drive home from work.

The IRS doesn’t have to wait for payment, settle disputes or take you to court before taking a collection action. They can simply send you a notice and then issue a levy on your accounts. If the bank doesn’t comply with their request, they can be punished, so it may seem as though there is nothing you can do, but there is! Our experienced tax debt relief attorneys in New Orleans can help.

The IRS Can Make Mistakes

The IRS must follow specific guidelines before they legally have the right to issue a levy. An attorney with experience dealing with the IRS can work to overturn the levy if the IRS failed to follow the proper procedure. Most likely, the IRS has levied your bank account due to failed payment, ongoing tax problems, or you have missed a deadline set by the Collection Division of the IRS. In this case, it is very important that you take a specific set of actions with the help of an experienced attorney.

At Grand Law Firm, we help taxpayers work with the IRS to prevent a bank levy. If the levy is already on your account, then we may be able to get the levy released. Having a professional plead your case will increase your chances of getting the levy released. You may only get one shot to petition the levy removal, so make it count.
