The IRS Doesn’t Need a Court Order to Levy Your Bank Account 😳
Most people think the IRS needs a court order to freeze your bank account.
Wrong. Unlike most creditors, the IRS can legally levy your account without going to court.
Here’s how it works:
🔸 They send you a series of notices (CP14, CP501, CP503, CP504...)
🔸 If you ignore them, they can issue a final notice of intent to levy (LT11 or Letter 1058)
🔸 30 days after that — your money could be gone.
But here’s the good news: You can stop it.
✅ You can request a payment plan
✅ File for hardship status
✅ Submit an Offer in Compromise
✅ Or request a Collection Due Process hearing (if done in time)
👉 Moral of the story: Open your IRS mail. Take action early. And never assume they need a court to come for your money.
