They are required to send you a notice of intent to levy prior to issuing a levy on your bank account. They probably did send it, but you disregarded it (that is what most people do). I suggest you contact a tax attorney pronto.

In place of a social security number, your wife can apply for a different type of tax identification number. This different number is called an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number or ITIN.

Since you are a legal permanent resident of the US, you can file a joint return with a spouse who is? a non-resident alien, as long as she has gotten her ITIN.... Read More

Your sibling's liability, however, would be limited to the amount of their inheritance. It is quite likely, however, that the taxes will be paid off during any sale of the foreclosed property....
