What is a Tax Levy?
An IRS tax levy is a legal action taken by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to seize a taxpayer’s assets to satisfy an unpaid tax debt. This can include levying bank accounts, garnishing wages, or taking possession of personal property such as real estate, vehicles, or retirement accounts.

Similar to an IRS levy, a state tax levy is enforced by state tax authorities to collect delinquent state taxes. Both types of levies occur after the taxpayer has been notified of the unpaid taxes and failed to settle the debt, leading to the seizure of assets to recover the owed amounts. These aggressive collection methods can cause significant financial hardship, making it essential to address tax debts promptly.
Don’t let the IRS seize what you’ve worked hard for—reach out now, and take control of your assets and safeguard your finances with our professional levy tax debt attorneys today.
Eligibility Requirements for Tax Levy Release
To qualify for a tax levy release, certain criteria must be met. The IRS typically releases a levy if it determines that the levy is causing undue financial hardship or if you have taken significant steps toward resolving your tax debt.
Key tax levy eligibility requirements:
• Financial Hardship: If you can prove that the levy is preventing you from meeting basic living expenses, you may qualify for a release. This requires providing detailed financial documentation to the IRS to demonstrate that the levy is causing undue hardship.
• Installment Agreement: If you set up an approved installment agreement or Fresh Start Program with the IRS to pay off your tax debt over time, the levy may be released as part of the agreement. The IRS is generally willing to lift the levy once a payment plan is in place.
• Offer in Compromise: Submitting an offer in compromise to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed can also lead to a tax levy release. Once the IRS accepts your offer, the levy is typically removed.
• Proving the Levy Is Unnecessary: If you can show the IRS that releasing the levy will help you pay off your debt faster, the IRS may agree to lift the levy. This requires careful negotiation and proof that you can resolve the tax debt more efficiently without the levy in place.
• Collection Due Process Hearing: If you request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing by filing IRS Form 12153, the levy could be temporarily released while the hearing takes place. This provides an opportunity to present your case and potentially have the levy lifted.
