To qualify for a tax levy release, certain criteria must be met. The IRS typically releases a levy if it determines that the levy is causing undue financial hardship or if you have taken significant steps toward resolving your tax debt.
If you can prove that the levy is preventing you from meeting basic living expenses, you may qualify for a release. This requires providing detailed financial documentation to the IRS to demonstrate that the levy is causing undue hardship.
If you set up an approved installment agreement or Fresh Start Program with the IRS to pay off your tax debt over time, the levy may be released as part of the agreement. The IRS is generally willing to lift the levy once a payment plan is in place.
Submitting an offer in compromise to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed can also lead to a tax levy release. Once the IRS accepts your offer, the levy is typically removed, providing immediate tax levy relief.
If you can show the IRS that releasing the levy will help you pay off your debt faster, the IRS may agree to lift the levy. This requires careful negotiation and proof that you can resolve the tax debt more efficiently without the levy in place.
If you request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing by filing IRS Form 12153, the levy could be temporarily released while the hearing takes place. This provides an opportunity to present your case and potentially obtain tax levy relief.

Request a Partial Levy Release
If a full levy release isn’t granted, our IRS levy attorneys can request a partial release to free up essential assets like wages or account funds while broader resolution efforts continue.
Appeal the Decision
If the IRS refuses to lift the levy, we can file an appeal and present your case to a higher IRS authority, often resulting in a reversal of the original action.
Apply for Currently Not Collectible Status
If the levy creates financial hardship, our tax lawyers can help you apply for CNC status, which may pause collections while your financial condition is reassessed.
Negotiate an Installment Agreement
We work directly with the IRS to negotiate affordable monthly payments. An accepted plan often results in tax levy relief or suspension during repayment.
Submit an Offer in Compromise

Our tax attorneys know how to expedite levy release across multiple states by ensuring full compliance and proper documentation.
