IRS Bank Levy Release — Maryland, DC & VA

An IRS bank levy is a one-time seizure of funds in your bank account. When the IRS issues a levy to your bank, the bank freezes the balance up to the amount owed for 21 days. At the end of that window, the funds are sent to the IRS — unless you've obtained a release.

Twenty-one days is a short window. We act immediately.

How a levy release works:
The IRS will release a bank levy if you can demonstrate that it creates an economic hardship, or if you establish an alternative resolution — installment agreement, OIC, or currently not collectible status. We file representation immediately, communicate directly with the IRS, and work to get the levy released before the 21-day window closes.

Preventing future levies:
A levy release alone doesn't resolve the underlying debt. If the levy is released without a formal agreement in place, the IRS can issue another one. We resolve both simultaneously — release the current levy and establish an arrangement that prevents the next one.

Business bank levies: For businesses, a bank levy can be immediately crippling — payroll, vendor payments, and operating expenses all run through the account. We handle business levy releases with urgency.

State bank levies: Maryland, Virginia, and DC can all issue bank levies for state tax debt. These are separate from IRS levies and require separate releases. We handle all jurisdictions.
