IRS Notice of Intent to Levy

Final Notice of Intent to Levy – Letter 1058 or Notice LT 11

These letters are sent by certified mail to your last known address and allows the IRS to levy (take) levy bank accounts, garnish wages, and seize assets. The Final Notice of Intent to Levy gives you 30 days to file an administrative appeal for a “Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing.” A sample of the LT 11 form can be viewed here.

What does an appeal do?

This is considered your Collection Due Process. If you appeal, the IRS is prevented from further collection actions against your money or physical your property. Should you fail to properly file an appeal, the levy will become effective immediately and you should expect enforced collections by the IRS. By filing an appeal, however, your tax case is transferred from collection to the “Appeals Office,” where a collection alternative can be negotiated. Important note: it’s generally unwise for a taxpayer to advocate for him or herself, much like being one’s own lawyer in court. Engaging a tax professional is usually going to result in a more favorable outcome for the taxpayer. If the negotiation fails to reach a signed and agreed upon arrangement, you still have the right to file a Petition in Tax Court.

We previously asked you to pay the federal tax shown on the next page, but we haven’t received your payment. This letter is your notice of our intent to levy under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 6331 and your right to appeal under IRC Section 6330.

We may also file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien at any time to protect the government’s interest. A lien is a public notice to your creditors that the government has a right to your current assets, including any assets you acquire after we file the lien.

If you don’t pay the amount you owe, make alternative arrangements to pay, or request an appeals hearing within 30 days from the date of this letter, we may take your property, or rights to property.
