A wage or bank levy is generally the next step taken by the IRS after a lien is filed and the tax remains uncollected for a period of time. That period of time ranges from days, in some cases, to years. That's why it is important to deal with tax liens immediately to avoid losing wages or bank deposits needed to survive day to day.

A citizen can get immediate relief from a wage or bank levy by contacting the Taxpayers Advocate (TA) within their local IRS district.  TA can be called on the phone or, if that is unsuccessful, a citizen can file Form 911.  When a citizen shows that a wage or bank levy will cause economic hardship, the TA can lift that levy and assign a revenue officer to your case.
