Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Your Right to a Hearing (LT11 / Letter 1058)

Why you might get this

• Earlier bills and reminders about an overdue balance went unpaid.
• A balance from a past-due tax year is still open.
• The IRS has decided it is ready to seize (levy) your income and assets to collect.

The deadline

You have 30 days to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing — a formal review before an independent officer. Missing this deadline can cost you those hearing rights.

What to do

1. Don't ignore this — it's the last step before an actual levy.
2. Pay the balance in full or set up a payment plan right away if you can.
3. To protect your rights, file Form 12153 to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing within 30 days.
4. Get help from a tax professional or the Taxpayer Advocate Service if you feel stuck.

What happens if you ignore it

After 30 days, the IRS can legally seize (levy) your paycheck, bank accounts, and other property, and you lose the right to a CDP hearing.

LT11/Letter 1058 is the end of the collection-notice chain (CP14 → CP501 → CP503 → CP504 → LT11); the next step is an actual levy.

What the IRS LT11 (Letter 1058) notice means

The LT11 — also issued as Letter 1058 — is the IRS's final notice of intent to levy, and it's one of the most important letters the IRS can send. It means the earlier bills and reminders about an overdue balance have gone unanswered, and the IRS is now legally preparing to seize your wages, bank accounts, or other property to collect what you owe.

But this notice also carries something valuable: your right to a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing. That's a formal review of your case by an independent IRS officer, where you can propose alternatives to a levy, dispute the balance, or explain a hardship.

Here's the critical part: you have 30 days from the date of the notice to request that hearing by filing Form 12153. This deadline is set by law. Miss it, and you lose the automatic right to that independent review before the IRS can start taking your money.

Because the stakes are high, this is the point where many people bring in a tax professional or contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service. Whatever you do, don't let the 30 days slip by unnoticed.
