Yes, there is first a lien, then a "notice of intent to levy" then WHAM.

You do get a little time and advance warning, unless you're an employer who hasn't remitted your payroll taxes on time.

One day I discovered our paychecks were no good because the IRS had levied against my employer's account. Some kind of mixup which was corrected within 24 hours. They can be FAST.

Bouced check fee is better than the alternative which is Theft by check. That is how it was handled in past times and what the criminal charge is.Alot more expensive than 35 dollars.Bounced check= worthless check=theft by check.

All you need is a new bank account. Try opening one online or in another state. Or, form an LLC with your wife, get a federal ID number for it and open a bank account in that name. Of course the Partriot Act requires that you give the bank your SSN when you open it, but IRS can't lien or levy it for your taxes.
