IRS Notice LT11: Final Notice of Intent to Levy
What it means
The IRS can levy wages, bank accounts, and property 30 days after this notice.
What to do
Request a Collection Due Process hearing or resolve before the deadline.
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.
