Understanding the LT11 Letter: Take Immediate Action

Receiving an LT11 letter from the IRS can be a major cause for concern. This notification serves as a strong signal that the IRS is ready to take aggressive measures to collect any outstanding taxes you owe. If you've received this letter, it's essential to understand its meaning and why taking swift action is crucial.

What is an LT11 Letter?

An LT11 letter, also known as the "Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing," is issued by the IRS when taxes remain unpaid, and previous notices have gone unanswered.

This letter signifies that the IRS is prepared to levy your assets, meaning they can legally seize your property to satisfy your tax debt. This could involve freezing your bank accounts, garnishing your wages, or even taking your home or other assets.

What Can Happen If You Ignore It?

Ignoring an LT11 letter can lead to serious consequences, such as:

  • Seizing Funds from Your Bank Account: The IRS can freeze and confiscate funds directly from your bank accounts.

  • Wage Garnishment: Your employer may be required to send part of your paycheck directly to the IRS.

  • Seizing Property: The IRS has the authority to take valuable items, including your home, car, or other possessions.

  • Damage to Your Credit Score: A tax levy or lien can significantly damage your credit score, making it difficult to secure loans or credit in the future.

Why You Need to Act Quickly

The LT11 letter gives you a 30-day window to respond. During this time, you have the right to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing, which allows you to dispute the levy, propose an alternative payment plan, or challenge the amount owed. If you fail to act within these 30 days, the IRS will begin the levy process, leaving you with fewer options.
