Look at the tax refund direct deposit information to see whether you entered the correct bank account number and routing number. Gather all of the information you can about your return. Call the IRS’ Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1040. This is the IRS customer service phone number for individuals.
Can the IRS deduct money from your bank account?
So, in short, yes, the IRS can legally take money from your bank account. Once they issue the notice, you have 30 days to resolve your debt before the IRS seizes your bank accounts. If you receive an IRS notice of levy, your best bet is to take immediate action to revolve your tax debt.

Do you have to pay taxes on interest on savings account?
It may not seem like you’re earning a significant amount from your savings account.

That’s why the IRS requires you to report — and pay taxes on — the interest that you earn from your bank accounts.
Can a bank be debited by the IRS?
The IRS cannot debit your bank account any earlier than you authorized when filing, but they can wait as long as they want after that date. Presently, they are way behind in processing returns and issuing refunds because of ongoing changes in the tax code. It is reasonable to believe the same delays are occurring in payment processing.
Do you have to pay taxes on a foreign bank account?
