IRS Letter 1058

Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Right to a CDP Hearing

IRS Letter 1058 is a final notice that the IRS intends to levy (seize) your property to collect unpaid taxes. This includes bank accounts, wages, Social Security, and other assets.

This Notice informs you of your right to a Collection Due Process Hearing.  This is a very important notice providing a very limited time to file a timely appeal.  A phone call to the IRS does NOT extend the deadline to timely appeal.  By timely appealing this notice, the IRS is prohibited from pursuing collection action against you for the balance due referenced in the notice AND you are provided rights to Tax Court review if the IRS fails to follow the law, a very powerful weapon to utilize during negotiations with the IRS.

It is highly recommended that you contact a tax lawyer to discuss your appeal rights immediately upon receiving this notice.

▸ Why Did I Receive IRS Letter 1058?

You received this letter because:

  • You owe federal taxes that remain unpaid

  • The IRS has already sent multiple notices and received no payment or resolution

  • You haven’t arranged a payment plan or resolved the balance

  • The IRS is now preparing to take enforced collection action

▸ What’s in the Letter 1058?

The notice includes:

  • The total amount you owe (including interest and penalties)

  • A warning that the IRS intends to levy your property

  • A description of your right to a CDP hearing

  • A strict 30-day deadline to respond before enforcement begins

- If you don’t respond in time, the IRS can begin garnishing wages, seizing bank funds, and placing liens on property.

▸ What Should You Do?

  1. Take immediate action. This is your last warning before collection begins.

  2. Review the balance. Confirm the IRS figures are accurate.

  3. Request a CDP hearing if you need to dispute the debt or negotiate terms.

  4. Explore payment options — including installment agreements or offers in compromise.

▸ When to Call a Tax Attorney

Letter 1058 is serious. If you don’t respond correctly and quickly, the IRS can start taking your assets.

A tax attorney can:

  • Stop the levy by filing a timely CDP hearing request

  • Review and challenge the IRS’s claims

  • Help you file the right forms and supporting documents

  • Negotiate a payment plan, settlement, or hardship status

▸ Don’t Wait for the IRS to Act

You have rights but only if you respond on time.
