Protect Your Income and Assets from IRS Seizures

If you’ve received a notice that the IRS is planning to levy your wages, bank accounts, or property, time is critical. The IRS has the power to seize your assets without taking you to court first. Once a levy is issued, your hard-earned money can be frozen or taken without warning.

At Scammahorn Law Firm, PC, our Texas levy relief lawyer helps taxpayers stop IRS levies before they happen—or fight to release levies already in place. We move quickly and aggressively to protect your income, your home, your business, and your financial future.

What Is an IRS Levy?

An IRS levy is a legal action that allows the IRS to seize your property to satisfy unpaid tax debt. Levies can target:

• Bank Accounts: The IRS can freeze and seize the money in your accounts.

• Wages: A portion of your paycheck can be garnished directly from your employer.

• Social Security Benefits: Retirement benefits and Social Security payments can be reduced.

• Vehicles and Real Estate: The IRS can seize and sell your home, car, or other valuable assets.

• Accounts Receivable: For businesses, customer payments can be intercepted.

The IRS is not required to take you to court before issuing a levy. Once you receive a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, you have only a short window to act.

How to Stop an IRS Levy

You have legal rights and options, but you must act quickly. A skilled levy relief attorney can help you:

• Negotiate a Payment Plan: Setting up an Installment Agreement can stop the levy process.

• Submit an Offer in Compromise: Settle your tax debt for less than you owe and avoid seizure.

• Request Currently Not Collectible Status: If you are struggling financially, the IRS may pause collections.

• File an Appeal: You have the right to challenge an improper or unfair levy through the IRS appeals process.

• Seek Penalty Relief: Reducing penalties can lower your debt and make resolution more manageable.
