3.The IRS can levy any type of "income" you have i.e Bank Accounts,Pension,IRA's
4.Employers have to respond to levies (from where wages are being garneshed), if not they can be responsible for their employees liability. There are criminal charges for this type of activity.
5. Bank Levy-Form 668-A: On date of receipt of levy, funds are frozen up to the amount of the levy and then released to the IRS in 21 days
6.Wage Levy-668-W: Levy starts as soon a employer receives information. However this does allow the Taxpayer to retain some funds and alot for dependents.
