Levy/Garnishment Release

Understanding Levy/Garnishment Release

When the IRS imposes a levy, it legally seizes your property to satisfy tax debts. This could mean garnishing your wages, taking money from your bank account, or seizing and selling your assets such as vehicles, real estate, and other personal property​¹​. However, you have the right to request a release of this levy if certain conditions are met:

• Paid Amount: If you’ve paid the amount you owe.
• Collection Period Ended: The period for collection ended before the levy was issued.
• Levy Release Aids Payment: Releasing the levy will help you pay your taxes.
• Installment Agreement: You enter into an Installment Agreement and the terms don’t allow for the levy to continue.
• Economic Hardship: The levy creates an economic hardship, preventing you from meeting basic living expenses.
• Property Value Exceeds Debt: The value of the property is more than the amount owed, and releasing the levy will not hinder the IRS’s ability to collect the amount owed​​.
