LT11 Notice

The LT11 is the CP504's twin — a final notice of intent to levy with the same 30-day clock and the same hearing rights.

What an LT11 means

The LT11 is a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing, generally sent to individuals. Businesses usually receive the same notice as Letter 1058. Different letterhead, same teeth.

Like the CP504, it gives you 30 days from the notice date before the IRS can levy — and the same right to request a Collection Due Process hearing (Form 12153) inside that window.

If you're holding an LT11 or a 1058, treat it exactly like a CP504: this is the moment to get professional help, not after the money is gone.

How it works

  1. Confirm whether you hold an LT11 (individual) or Letter 1058 (business) — the strategy differs slightly.
  2. Call free — 888.212.9966 — or upload the notice. We verify the deadline and the balance behind it.
  3. We pull transcripts and check for unfiled returns or errors inflating what you owe.
  4. Hearing requested inside the window when it's the right move.
  5. Debt resolved — payment plan, offer, or relief — then compliance locked in.

Common questions

What's the difference between LT11 and CP504?

Mostly the envelope. Both are final notices of intent to levy with a 30-day window and hearing rights. The strategy for responding is the same.

I got a Letter 1058 for my business. Is that worse?

It's the business version of the same notice — and business cases can carry extra exposure (like payroll tax personal liability), so they deserve a CPA's eyes fast.

Does the 30-day clock include weekends?

It's 30 days from the date on the notice, calendar days. Don't shave it close — file early.

Can I still set up a payment plan after an LT11?

Yes. A final notice doesn't remove any resolution option — it just starts a countdown. Many LT11 cases end in installment agreements.
