When tax debt goes unresolved, the IRS doesn't wait forever. Liens and levies are two of the most aggressive enforcement tools in their collection arsenal — and once they're in play, your property, bank accounts, and income are directly at risk. RightWay Tax Relief Group helps individuals and businesses respond to lien and levy actions quickly, understand what's happening, and take the right steps to protect their assets while working toward a resolution.

These two terms are often confused, but they work very differently. A tax lien is a legal claim the IRS places against your property including your home, vehicles, and financial assets to secure their interest in your tax debt. It doesn't take anything from you immediately, but it damages your credit and complicates future transactions. A levy, on the other hand, is the actual seizure. The IRS can levy your bank accounts, garnish your wages, and take other assets to satisfy the debt. Both are serious but levies require faster action because money or property is actively being taken.
Lien and levy situations are not the time to wait and see. Once the IRS levies your bank account, your funds can be frozen and turned over within 21 days. Wage garnishments begin with your next paycheck. And liens while less immediately destructive can prevent you from selling property, refinancing your home, or even securing certain types of employment. The faster you respond, the more options you have. In many cases, enforcement actions can be released, withdrawn, or subordinated as part of a broader resolution strategy.

They Saved My Bank Account When I Thought It Was Too Late

Independent Truck Driver
The IRS froze my bank account without warning. I had bills due, rent coming up, and no access to my money. I called RightWay Tax Relief Group in a panic, and they moved fast. They contacted the IRS, got the levy released, and helped me set up a plan to deal with the debt. I don't know what I would have done without them.
A lien is a legal claim the IRS places on your property to protect their interest in collecting your tax debt. It doesn't take anything, but it affects your credit and your ability to sell or refinance assets. A levy is the actual seizure the IRS takes funds from your bank account, garnishes your wages, or seizes other property to pay the debt. Think of a lien as a hold and a levy as a take.
The IRS is required to send a Final Notice of Intent to Levy (CP504 or Letter 1058) at least 30 days before taking action. However, many taxpayers overlook these notices or don't realize what they mean until the levy has already hit. If you've received any notice mentioning intent to levy, contact us immediately that's your window to act.
In urgent cases, we can begin working on a levy release the same day you contact us. The timeline for release depends on the specifics of your case and the IRS's responsiveness, but taking immediate action dramatically improves the outcome. Bank levies in particular have a 21-day holding period before funds are sent to the IRS so every day counts.
While federal tax liens are no longer reported on credit reports by the three major bureaus as of 2018, they still appear in public records and can surface during background checks, loan applications, and real estate transactions. A lien can also make it difficult to sell property or obtain financing. Getting the lien withdrawn not just released is important for fully clearing its impact.
Yes, there are several options. The IRS can release a lien once the underlying debt is paid or resolved. They can also withdraw a lien in certain circumstances such as when you enter into a direct debit installment agreement or when the lien was filed prematurely. Additionally, lien subordination or discharge may be available for specific property transactions. We evaluate which option applies to your situation.
Don't ignore it. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien means the IRS has formally filed a public claim against your assets. You have the right to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing within 30 days of receiving the notice, which allows you to challenge the lien or propose alternative resolution options. Contact us right away so we can review the notice, explain your rights, and help you respond before the deadline passes.
