Person opening IRS final notice of intent to levy LT11 letter

If you’ve received a Final Notice of Intent to Levy (LT11 or Letter 1058) from the IRS, this is one of the most serious collection notices the IRS sends.

This means the IRS is preparing to take aggressive enforcement action, including:

Garnishing your wages
Freezing and seizing your bank account
Placing levies on your income or assets

Time is critical. You typically have only 30 days to act.

What Is an LT11 or Letter 1058?

The LT11 / Letter 1058 is the IRS’s final warning before enforced collection begins.

It also gives you the legal right to request a:

Collection Due Process (CDP) Hearing

This is extremely important because it can:

Stop IRS collection action
Give you time to resolve your tax debt
Allow you to propose a payment or settlement option

What Happens If You Ignore the IRS Final Notice of Intent to Levy?

Bank account frozen due to IRS levy financial stress concept

If no action is taken within the deadline, the IRS can:

Levy your bank account (freeze funds)
Garnish your wages continuously
Seize certain assets

Once enforcement begins, resolving your case becomes more difficult and stressful.

How to Stop an IRS Levy

You have options—but timing is everything.

Depending on your situation, you may qualify for:

✔ Offer in Compromise

Settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed.

✔ Installment Agreement

Set up a structured monthly payment plan.

✔ Currently Not Collectible (CNC)

Temporarily stop IRS collections due to financial hardship.

✔ Collection Due Process Hearing

Formally challenge or delay IRS enforcement. The right strategy depends on your financial situation and the type of tax liability.

Why Acting Quickly Matters

The earlier you act:

The more resolution options you have
The easier it is to stop enforcement
The better your outcome will likely be

Waiting until after a levy occurs can limit your options significantly.
