My bank account was wiped cleaned by the IRS yesterday after I missed a payment on my installment agreement. I have direct deposit, how many times will my bank account be levied?|||An IRS bank levy will seize whatever is found in your accounts at that time. To seize again, the IRS would need to serve your bank another levy which would be highly unusual. You have 21 days from the day of seizure to plead your case and have your money returned to you. If you have unfiled tax returns, forget any hope of getting your money returned. The IRS can claim any funds held by you and anyone else who is on any account. The 21 day hold includes Saturday, Sunday and holidays. You do not have a lot of time to act. A tax professional would have more ability to have your funds returned than an individual taxpayer. Be aware, the next step for the IRS is to execute an IRS Wage Levy. If you are struggling financially, an Offer in Compromise may be the way for to go. Once again, get experienced professional help.You can contact if you need further assistance at Flat Fee Tax Service.|||Usually the IRS doesn't levy a bank back-to-back. A bank levy is used as a warning or wake-up call. If they wanted to get money from you, they could always garnish your wages. Now, that doesn't mean the IRS won't levy your bank account again, so you should try and set-up another installment agreement with the IRS before they take any other action against you. Since you defaulted once already, it is best you use a professional.|||Quit wasting your time asking about this on yahoo answer when you already know that you will have to get the correct answer from the IRS about the levy and how you can prevent it from happening again in the future.
May be they can give you some good face to face advice on what your next step should be and be sure to thank them very nicely and politely for taking the time to help you with this matter.
