LEVY RISK: This notice can lead to seizure of your bank accounts, wages, or other assets if left unresolved.
Final Notice of Intent to Levy — Immediate Action Required
30 days from the notice date. After this, the IRS can issue a levy on your bank account or wages without any additional notice to you.
This is the final legal notice before the IRS levies your bank accounts, wages, and other financial assets. This is not another warning — this is the IRS telling you that levy authority is now in effect. They can serve a levy on your bank or employer at any time after 30 days from this notice date.
The IRS will contact your bank or employer and levy (seize) funds. Your bank account can be frozen and emptied. Your employer will be required to send a portion of every paycheck to the IRS.
File Form 12153 (Request for Collection Due Process Hearing) immediately — this legally stops all levy action while the hearing is pending
You have 30 days from this notice date to file the CDP request — this deadline cannot be extended
While the CDP hearing is pending, negotiate an installment agreement or other resolution with the IRS Settlement Officer assigned to your case
If a levy has already hit your bank account before you act, contact the IRS immediately — levied funds can sometimes be returned if you act within a few days
