Question: Upon the advice of my tax attorney, was told to open a new checking acc’t, (IRS) problem: I owe other banks!

Had my own business, fell through, lost everything. IRS states I owe 6 figures, my lawyer said I should get a new bank acc’t as it would take 8-10 months for them to get to the new account information. I’m on the “checksystems” and don’t think I can open a new checking account with another bank. Can I have a family member open one under their name and be listed as well? I’m worried the IRS will empty out my bank account! Please help with valid ideas? Thank you kindly!
****The intent to wait 8-10 months is to have time to work out details regarding the moneies owed to the IRS.

Answer: Hmmmmmmm, Im not so sure if I would listen to that attorney!!! If you owe other banks, it is on your credit bureau. Just because you change banks does NOT mean your cash is safe. Your social security number immediately alerts the IRS of where you are banking and they will seize that money immediatley……
Think this one thru…..your attorney is WRONG!
