Can the IRS put a lien or levy my bank account if i move to Argentina and im not an American Citizen but I was living in USA for 7 years?
I’m no longer live in USA and I do not have any account in USA
To who may concern I’m not thinking of defrauding the U.S. I was living in USA for 7 years, I did paid taxes each year, last year I had to came back to my country because my parents were really sick and when I try to come back I couldn’t because my visa was expired and the embassy here in Argentina did not renew my visa.
So that is the story.
I will really appreciate any advice in this IRS matter!
Thank you.

Ok..I understand the situation as far as you are from Argentina and you lived in the U.S. for seven years..but you really haven't given any details as to why they would, or if they truly have put a lien on your bank account..has the U.S. done this to an account in Argentina? on what basis? Did you send a lot of money out of the country? that could cause them to put a lien on it.
I would love to help..but I need more details..

If you are not earning an income in the USA and not a resident then you shouldn't have to worry about anything more than intrest on your US account but frnakly you'd be better off closing teh account, something like an international money order or wire the money to the bank you use in Argentina, no advantage to having it here if you are not going to be here.

You said you do not have an account in the US so nothing for the IRS to seize. If you owe them money don't try to come back because they will find you and put a lien on anything you might own.

Can the IRS find you in Argentina? I would go directly to the IRS and ask them, or find an accoutant who understands international tax law.

Shame on you for not paying your taxes. However, IRS will usually not go so far as to levy taxes from you since you are back in Argentina. If you have no assets left here in America, they won't bother with you. If you do have assets here, yes, they will seize them. You're welcome.

You want to know if they can put a lien or levy on your account then you say you dont have a account in USA.Of course they can not put a lien or levy on something that you dont have.

They cant do nothing but only if you pay the taxes you have to pay you could make a payment plan with the US to where you pay what you can for as long as you need to as long as you pay for the taxes you missed to pay well OK hope it helps bye bye

Since you are not a US citizen and have no more bank accounts in the US, I do not think they can do anything to you.

I wouldn't really worry about it until you come back. When you do please take care of it, the IRS can really **** you up. Including but not limited to wage garnishment and jail time. They are not the people to mess with!
