IRS Notice Letter 1058: Final Notice of Intent to Levy
What it means
Equivalent of LT11 — levy authority and right to a CDP hearing.
What to do
Same urgency as LT11: respond within 30 days.
Verify it's real. The IRS contacts you by mail first — never by phone, email, or text demanding payment. The notice includes a number in the top-right corner and instructions on irs.gov. When in doubt, log into your IRS online account rather than calling a number on the letter.
