Jacksonville IRS Collection Holds, Bank Levy & Wage Garnishment Relief
Form 2848 filed, a collection hold requested, and your paycheck and bank account defended by licensed counsel.
What Collection Holds, Bank Levy & Wage Garnishment Relief Means for Your Case
A bank levy freezes your funds for 21 days. A wage garnishment can take most of a paycheck under the Publication 1494 exempt-amount tables. Milk & Honey Co. moves immediately: Form 2848 Power of Attorney is filed so the IRS must deal with our firm, we contact ACS or the assigned Revenue Officer, and we pursue release on hardship or compliance grounds. Same-week action from our Jacksonville office at Flagler Center.

Why Jacksonville Taxpayers Choose Milk & Honey Co.
Form 2848 representation on day one
Once Power of Attorney is on file the IRS must route contact through our firm. We speak to ACS, the Revenue Officer, and Appeals so you do not have to.
Collection holds where you qualify
We request holds on enforced collection while a resolution is built — often within 24 to 72 hours of engagement when filing compliance can be established quickly.
Levy release on hardship or compliance
Bank levies caught inside the 21-day hold and wage levies causing economic hardship can frequently be released or reduced under IRC §6343.
How We Protect You, Step by Step
Every engagement begins with our $350 flat-fee Total Tax Diagnostic & Blueprint — a written strategy and fixed quote before any representation work starts.
1. Confidential strategy review
We identify the notice stage — CP504, LT11, Final Notice of Intent to Levy — and whether Collection Due Process appeal rights are still open.
2. Form 2848 filed and transcripts pulled
Power of Attorney is filed immediately and transcripts confirm the assessment, the CSED, and which years drive the enforcement.
3. Asset protection & collection hold
We contact ACS or the Revenue Officer to request a hold and pursue release of an active bank levy or wage garnishment.
4. Compliant returns filed
The IRS will not release most levies without filing compliance. Missing returns are prepared and filed on an expedited schedule.
5. Balance resolved
We close the case with Currently Not Collectible status, an installment agreement, or an Offer in Compromise so the levy does not return.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can an IRS bank levy be released?
The bank holds levied funds for 21 days before remitting them to the IRS. Releases inside that window are possible and are the highest-priority work we take. Speed depends on filing compliance and how quickly financial information can be documented.
What is Form 2848 and why does it matter?
Form 2848 is the IRS Power of Attorney. Once it is on file, the IRS must communicate with your representative, and our firm can request collection holds, negotiate releases, and access your full account history on your behalf.
How much of my paycheck can the IRS garnish?
Unlike private creditors, the IRS leaves only the exempt amount from Publication 1494 based on your filing status and dependents — the rest of each paycheck can be taken. That is why garnishments are treated as emergencies.
Can the IRS levy my bank account without warning?
The IRS must generally issue a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing at least 30 days before levying. Many taxpayers miss it because it went to an old address; the transcript shows exactly when it was issued.
