The short answer

## What should I do about an LT11 or Letter 1058?

An LT11 or Letter 1058 says the IRS intends to seize your property and tells you about your right to a hearing. You have 30 days from receiving it to ask for a collection due process hearing with Form 12153.

This letter is the formal notice of intent to levy and your right to a hearing. The IRS can then levy wages, bank accounts, and other property up to the amount owed.

A collection due process hearing is with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals. You can talk about other ways to pay. To do that, Appeals will want a financial statement, like Form 433-A or 433-B.

If you owe $50,000 or less and filed all returns, you may be able to set up a plan online instead.

## Key facts

* The date you got the letter (your 30 days start then)
* The amount owed
* Whether all your returns are filed
* Whether you want to dispute the amount or just need time to pay
* Form 12153 and your financial forms

## Options that may help

**Collection due process hearing**

File Form 12153 within 30 days to appeal the levy and discuss options.

**Payment plan**

If you are current on filing, ask for a plan to pay over time.

**Pay in full**

Paying the balance stops more interest and penalties.

Results depend on your situation. Not every case qualifies.
