LT11 Notice Explained

A final notice of intent to levy and notice of your right to a hearing.

What this notice may mean

A final notice of intent to levy and notice of your right to a hearing. The notice should be reviewed for the tax year, amount, deadline, appeal rights, and payment instructions.

What to do next

Compare the notice against your records, confirm whether returns are filed, gather payment history, and consider contacting the IRS, a state agency, or a qualified tax professional before deadlines pass.

Final notice and hearing rights

Write down the deadline immediately.
Review whether Form 12153 or another response path applies.
Professional help is strongly worth considering if you cannot pay in full.

LT11 is a serious collection notice

Write down the Collection Due Process deadline immediately.
Review whether Form 12153, a payment arrangement, hardship request, or professional representation is appropriate.
Do not rely on a phone call alone if the notice gives written appeal rights.
