IRS Notice LT11

IRS Notice LT11 is a final warning that the IRS intends to levy (seize) your property or rights to property. This includes things like wages, bank accounts, Social Security, and other income.

You have 30 days from the date of the notice to resolve the issue or request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing. If you don’t act, the IRS can move forward with enforcement, without any further warning.

▸ Why Did I Receive LT11?

You received this notice because:

• You have an unpaid tax balance

• The IRS has sent multiple prior notices (like CP14 or CP501)

• You haven’t arranged payment or responded

• The IRS is preparing to enforce collection through levy or garnishment

This notice is nearly identical in purpose to CP90, but is sent under a different tracking system.

▸ What’s Included in the LT11?

The notice will explain:

• The amount you owe (tax, penalties, and interest)

• That the IRS intends to levy your income or assets

• Your legal right to request a CDP hearing within 30 days

• Steps to pay, set up a payment plan, or appeal

▸ What Happens If I Ignore It?

If you don’t respond within the 30-day window:

• The IRS can and will begin seizing assets, including:

  • Wages (wage garnishment)

  • Bank accounts

  • Social Security income

  • Business income

• Penalties and interest will continue to grow

• You’ll lose the right to stop the levy through a CDP hearing

▸ When to Call a Tax Attorney

An LT11 notice is a red-alert situation. If you’re receiving this, the IRS is ready to take your money or property. A tax attorney can:

• Immediately stop the levy by requesting a CDP hearing

• Help you understand your rights and evaluate your options

• Negotiate a payment plan, settlement, or hardship status

• Represent you in hearings or communications with the IRS
