What is a bank levy?

The Louisiana Department of Revenue (LDR) has the legal authority to place a levy on your bank, credit union, or brokerage account if you have unpaid state taxes, penalties, or interest. When a levy is issued, your financial institution must, by law, remit the available funds in your account to LDR to apply toward your outstanding balance.

If your account has been levied for failure to pay taxes due, contact LDR immediately:

• Phone: 1-855-307-3893
• Business tax email: [email protected]
• Individual income tax email: [email protected]

Taking prompt action may help prevent additional collection measures, including further levies, wage garnishments, or liens.
