I’ve read that the IRS not only has access to your bank account activity but they can even “automatically” deduct fees/fines directly from your account.

Experts say ... ? Anyone?

Prayer to St. Thomas More for Lawyers and Judges

Dear Scholar and Martyr, it was not the King of England but you who were the true Defender of the Faith. Like Christ unjustly condemned, neither promises nor threats could make you accept a civil ruler as head of the Christian Church. Perfect in your honesty and love of truth, grant that lawyers and judges may imitate you and achieve true justice for all people. Amen.

Yes that is correct.

Automatic is partially true. The IRS follows a set procedure that includes many fail safes before a levy on an account. It can take several months and several attempts to contact before a levy is done. When they exhaust the "good cop" procedures they implement the bad cop-normally a levy.

Even after the levy there are circumstances that can be used to get them to return the money. One of them is if the amount in all accounts is only enough to cover monthly expenses.

They have the ability to take every last cent.
