What the LT11 Letter Means

An LT11 (also issued as Letter 1058) is a final notice of intent to levy. It means the IRS intends to seize your wages, bank accounts, and other property to collect an unpaid tax debt. Like the CP90, it also explains your right to a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing. You have 30 days from the notice date to request that hearing and pause collection.

Deadline

You have 30 days from the date on the letter to request a Collection Due Process hearing before the IRS can levy.

Why You Received This Letter

An unpaid balance remains after earlier notices. No resolution or payment plan is in place.

What to Do Next

Do not wait — you have only 30 days to protect your appeal rights. Pay in full if possible at IRS.gov/payments. File Form 12153 to request a Collection Due Process hearing. Get a tax professional involved to negotiate a payment plan, hardship status, or offer in compromise.

What Happens If You Ignore It

If you do not respond within 30 days, the IRS can levy your wages and bank accounts and file a federal tax lien. Requesting a hearing in time preserves your right to appeal and propose alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an LT11 and a CP504?

A CP504 allows the IRS to levy your state refund and is a warning. The LT11 is the final notice that allows broader levies on wages and bank accounts and gives you the right to a hearing within 30 days.

Can I still set up a payment plan after an LT11?

Yes. You can request an installment agreement, hardship status, or an offer in compromise. Requesting a Collection Due Process hearing within 30 days can pause collection while you work it out.
