An IRS levy refers to the actual seizing of property authorized by a tax lien. If a tax lien is the IRS's authorization to act by seizing property, then the IRS levy is the actual act of seizure. So how can you stop an IRS levy?

When the IRS does a levy, they bypass the courts and simply take your property, whether real or personal. The only time the IRS levy will involve the courts is when the IRS seeks the ability to seize property that is within the lien but currently beyond the reach of the IRS levy, such as necessary clothing, textbooks and certain business necessities.

It's true that an IRS levy notice must be issued before an IRS levy is performed. The customary notice period for IRS levies is 30 days. However, once an IRS levy notice is issued, the levy is basically inevitable. Therefore, to stop an IRS levy, you really have to remove the tax lien. Doing so can often be difficult and it's best to seek professional help in the form of a tax advisor or tax lawyer familiar with liens and IRS levies.

  1. Pay your overdue taxes to prevent an IRS levy. This might be the most difficult (I almost wrote "taxing") methods of removing a lien and subsequently stopping any IRS levy, but it is the surest method as well. If you pay the taxes you owe, a tax lien will be removed within 30 days and, with it, the chance of an IRS levy.
  2. irs levyPursue an Offer in Compromise. Instead of paying the full amount of tax due (especially if you are nowhere near being able to afford it), you can make an Offer in Compromise, proposing a compromise payment to the IRS instead of the full amount they would gain from the IRS levy. Along with the promise to pay the compromise amount of tax, you would also promise to pay your taxes on time for a period of years. If the proposal is well crafted and the guaranteed amount more appealing to the IRS than the amount they expect to gain after using their own resources to get it, the IRS might accept your offer and you might prevent an IRS levy. Every action, including an IRS levy, carries a certain cost to the IRS....
