Currently, when we receive a IRS Tax Levy, we look at the Social Security Number or EIN Number on the Levy and the name. We then research this information in our system to see if they have an account(s) and what funds are available to hold on the day the Levy is presented. We base this on the Name and EIN or Social Security Number provided on the Levy. My question is if we perform our search and determine that the primary name and Social Security number on the account does not match the Levy but the person the Levy pertains to is a signer or secondary owner to the account (Joint Account), should we hold those funds? Should this be done even if it's a Business, Minor Account, IOLTA, Escrow etc.? I would think consideration should be given to the relationship the person upon whom the Levy is presented has to the account.
