IRS final notice of intent to levy
LT11 or Letter 1058 Notice? Review Possible IRS Levy Options
An LT11 or Letter 1058 usually means the IRS says it has not received payment and intends to levy property or rights to property. The notice may also explain your right to request a Collection Due Process hearing.
Before the deadline passes, review the notice date, tax years, amount due, appeal language, and whether payment plan, hardship, filing, or representation questions should be discussed.

First checks
What to look for before the deadline
Find the letter number, notice date, deadline, tax years, balance due, and the section that explains appeal rights. If the notice says to reply within 30 days, treat the date as important and do not assume you can wait until collection action starts.
Also check whether all required returns are filed. Missing returns can affect installment agreements, hardship review, Offer in Compromise questions, and other tax debt options.

Why speed matters
The IRS describes Letter 11 and Letter 1058 as notices that tell you about unpaid taxes, proposed levy action, and how to request an appeal if you disagree. Waiting can reduce the time available to understand the notice and organize a practical response.
A private review cannot guarantee a levy release, appeal result, payment plan, settlement, or tax reduction. It can help you sort the facts before deciding whether deeper tax representation is appropriate.
Avoid these mistakes
Do not let urgency turn into guesswork
Many people panic after seeing levy language and either ignore the notice or agree to a payment they cannot afford. A better first step is to read the deadline, gather the facts, and understand which issues need attention first.
For safety, do not send full tax returns, Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or IRS account transcripts through a general web form.
Common mistakes
- Missing the 30-day appeal language on the notice
- Assuming a levy has already happened when the notice says proposed levy
- Ignoring unfiled returns or new balances
- Setting a payment without checking affordability
- Submitting sensitive documents before confirming who needs them and why
LT11 / Letter 1058 is different because of hearing language
Unlike a general tax bill, this kind of notice may include instructions for requesting a Collection Due Process hearing. That makes the date and instructions on the notice especially important.
If the taxpayer has several IRS letters, use the most recent levy-intent or hearing-rights notice as the starting point for review.
Deadline triage
Sort the appeal deadline before choosing a payment path
Payment plans, hardship review, penalty questions, and settlement questions can matter, but the first screen should identify whether appeal rights are active and whether levy action is proposed, pending, or already happening.
For a callback, keep the envelope or notice date, the page that describes hearing rights, and any prior CP504, CP90, CP297, or CP523 notices nearby.
