An IRS tax levy is the actual seizure of your property to satisfy a federal tax debt. Bank account levies drain your account in a single action. Wage garnishments take a significant portion of every paycheck until the debt is resolved. Clean Slate Tax secures seizure releases within 24 to 72 hours in most cases by establishing a qualifying resolution agreement with the IRS and treating every active enforcement action as an emergency from the first call.

How a Levy Release Works
The IRS is required to release a levy when you establish a qualifying resolution agreement, demonstrate economic hardship, or enter a pending offer in compromise or Collection Due Process appeal. Clean Slate Tax files Form 2848 immediately, contacts the IRS Practitioner Priority Service, and negotiates the removal in parallel with establishing your long-term resolution. In most bank seizure cases, the lifting of enforcement is issued the same day or the next business day.
Once a levy is released, it does not guarantee permanent protection. The underlying debt must be resolved through an installment agreement, offer in compromise, or other program to prevent the IRS from issuing a new seizure. Clean Slate Tax handles both the immediate release and the long-term resolution simultaneously.

What to Do When You Receive an IRS Levy Notice
The IRS is required to send a Final Notice of Intent to Levy (Letter 1058 or LT11) at least 30 days before levying. This notice triggers your right to a Collection Due Process hearing. Requesting a CDP hearing within 30 days stops the seizure while your case is reviewed. Missing this window does not eliminate your options but does reduce them.
If you have already received a levy and funds have been seized, contact Clean Slate Tax at 1-888-588-5429 immediately. In cases where levied funds have not yet been turned over to the IRS by the bank (typically a 21-day hold period), there may be an opportunity to recover the full amount.

Common Questions About Levy Notices and Release Options
How fast can you release an IRS bank levy?
In most cases Clean Slate Tax secures a levy release within 24 to 72 hours of establishing a qualifying resolution agreement. Bank levies have a 21-day hold period after the seizure date before funds are turned over to the IRS. If we engage before that window closes, you may recover the full levied amount.
Can the IRS levy my bank account without warning?
The IRS must send a Final Notice of Intent to Levy at least 30 days before levying. If you did not receive this notice at your last known address, it is still legally valid. Clean Slate Tax reviews your IRS transcript to confirm the seizure sequence and identify any procedural errors that could be used in an appeal.
Will getting a levy released stop future levies?
A levy release stops the current enforcement action. To prevent future levies you must establish a formal resolution agreement (installment agreement, OIC, or CNC status) that keeps the IRS from issuing new levies. Clean Slate Tax handles this as part of every seizure removal engagement.
Can my employer be levied for my tax debt?
Yes. A wage garnishment is a continuous levy served on your employer. It requires your employer to withhold a set amount from every paycheck until the seizure is released. Clean Slate Tax sends the enforcement action release directly to your employer and payroll department once the IRS issues it.
