If an account doesn't have the entire amount specified in a "Notice of Freeze" and in this case it is from the Florida Department of Revenue, do we hold just what is in the account the day we receive the notice, or do we place a hold on the account for the entire amount of the notice thereby holding all future deposits up to the hold amount?
(The Florida DOR collects taxes and child support.)

In a webinar I attended earlier this year on Levies it stated, “Levy proceeds must not be reduced by any fee charged by the bank for processing the levy.” Would this rule apply to levies at the state level such as from the State Comptroller office or for Child Support?

I recently did an e-train webinar, regarding California Levies/Subpoenas as my credit union is located in California and Oregon. In this e-training the instructor told us that protected funds do not apply to child support levies. I have been to many seminars regarding levies and subpoenas and I have never been told this. I was taught of course that IRS levies do not apply to protected funds, but never child support. Does this rule only apply to California or to all states?

We received an IRS Levy last week, and our customer had $800 available at the time the levy was received. We placed a hold on the funds. Two days later we received notice that a $3,000 check he deposited was being returned for NSF. This meant true account balance available would have been ($2,200) at the time of levy. When we received the $3,000 check back, we debited his account, and he was negative. He has since deposited cash and has $100 available (including the $800 hold for levy). Checks are now presenting that we could pay if the $800 hold was not there. What am I obligated to pay the IRS now?

When receiving a non IRS levy, what is the banks compliance responsibility to these? They are from local collections firms, and do have court orders attached.

Tax Levy-- Can the bank charge their fee of say $100.00 when they receive the levy and then place the lockout on the account for what is remaining in the account? Or could we take the account negative for the fee after 21 days?
