What LT11 / Letter 1058 Means

  • The IRS intends to levy (seize) your property, wages, or bank accounts to collect unpaid taxes.
  • You are given 30 days to either:
    • Pay the balance in full, OR
    • Request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing.
  • If you do not act, the IRS can move forward with levies, garnishments, and other enforcement actions.

Your Rights Under a CDP Hearing

  • You have the right to challenge the IRS’s collection action.
  • You can propose alternatives such as:
    • Installment agreements
    • Offer in Compromise (settling for less)
    • Currently Not Collectible status (if you cannot pay)
  • You can also dispute the underlying tax liability if you haven’t had a prior chance.

Commonly Asked Questions

Q1: What happens if I ignore LT11 / Letter 1058? 👉 The IRS can levy your wages, bank accounts, or property. Ignoring the notice makes the situation worse.

Q2: Can I stop the levy once it starts? 👉 Yes, but it’s harder. Filing a CDP hearing request within 30 days is the best way to stop enforcement before it begins.

Q3: What if I can’t afford to pay? 👉 Options include Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, or Currently Not Collectible status. CPA Clinics helps you apply for these.

Q4: Do I qualify for LITC help? 👉 If your income is within IRS guidelines (≤250% of federal poverty level) or you speak English as a second language, you may qualify for free representation.

Q5: How long does a CDP hearing take? 👉 It varies, but filing within the deadline immediately stops levy action until the hearing is resolved.
