This move, by either agency, is effective because they will get their money. This is a measure most agents are reluctant to take this drastic measure but when they do, it is extremely effective. When put into action, the target, of the bank levy, has all available bank funds frozen and the nightmare commences.
The nightmare of declined charges bounced checks and unmet payroll. These are just a few examples of the bad things that can occur from a bank levy. The time to get help is now.

How to Pay Bills After Your Pomona Bank Account is Seized
Your bank funds have been frozen by the IRS resulting in the paying of bills being impossible. You have no money. No money to feed your family or put gas in your car.

However, you can prove that the levy is causing severe financial hardship which requires appropriate documentation. Our Pomona, CA team can show you what you need and help put the documentation together.
In certain circumstances and conditions, the IRS may be willing to remove the tax lien, which requires you to apply for hardship status.

What Are the Specific Laws Governing IRS Bank Account Levies? – for Pomona, CA Taxpayers
The freezing and eventual seizing of bank funds, by the IRS, is an extremely powerful tool. They can wield it as they please. Even with such power, the IRS has clearly defined guidelines and rules that must be followed along with meeting specific conditions before they can take your money. The specific conditions that must be met, with a few exceptions, are:
- The IRS must assess a tax liability and send you a notice.
- You must fail to pay or fail to make other arrangements.
- The IRS must send a final notice of intent to levy. The letter must explain that you have 30 days to appeal or make payment arrangements.
If the IRS fails to follow any of these steps, the levy can be reversed based on procedural errors. However, only one notice of your rights is required for each tax period. Remember, as a United States Taxpayer, you have Rights!
Are there exceptions to the rules? Yes, there are exceptions. The IRS does not need to give you 30 days’ notice to a hearing if:
- It feels collection of the tax money you owe is in jeopardy (flight risk)
- To collect tax from a state tax refund
- The IRS served a Disqualified employment tax levy
If any of these circumstances are true, then the IRS will send you a notice of your appeal rights after it issues the levy.
