IRS LT11 Letter Help
The LT11 is the IRS's final notice of intent to levy and your legal notice of the right to request a Collection Due Process hearing. This is the last step before the IRS proceeds with levy action on wages, bank accounts, or other property.

Prepare Written ResponseWhat This Letter Means
An LT11 is the IRS's legally required final notice before levying wages, bank accounts, or other property. You have 30 days from the date of this notice to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing.
Why You Received This Notice
You received an LT11 because you have not paid a tax debt or responded to previous IRS notices. The IRS has completed all required administrative steps and is prepared to proceed with enforced collection.
What NOT to Do
- Do not ignore this notice – levy action will proceed after 30 days
- Do not assume the IRS will provide additional notices
- Do not attempt to resolve without professional representation
- Do not miss the 30-day deadline to request a CDP hearing
Required Action (Within 30 Days)
- File Form 12153 to request a Collection Due Process hearing immediately
- Prepare documentation supporting your position or proposed resolution
- Engage professional representation (tax attorney or enrolled agent)
- Consider all collection alternatives: installment agreement, Offer in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status
- Send all correspondence via certified mail
Your Rights Under CDP
During a Collection Due Process hearing, you can:
- Challenge the underlying tax liability (if you did not previously have an opportunity)
- Propose an installment agreement or other payment arrangement
- Request Currently Not Collectible status based on financial hardship
- Submit an Offer in Compromise
- Raise collection alternatives or procedural issues
Requesting a CDP hearing suspends levy action until a decision is issued.
