Balance due & the collection ladder
The companion version of the final levy notice — a Final Notice of Intent to Levy that carries your Collection Due Process hearing right, issued where the standard LT11/1058 doesn't fit (for example, certain joint or successor accounts).
Last stop
The companion version of the final levy notice — a Final Notice of Intent to Levy that carries your Collection Due Process hearing right, issued where the standard LT11/1058 doesn't fit (for example, certain joint or successor accounts).
Why you got it: An unpaid balance reached final-notice stage on an account the standard notices don't cover.
Not a lesser notice because the code is unfamiliar. It performs the same legal job as LT11: after it, the levy can follow.
Your first move: Treat it exactly like LT11: 30 days from the notice date to request the hearing, pay, or get a plan in place.
Every clock runs from this date — not from the day the letter reached you.
The pause and the court door both depend on it being timely.
In the 30-day window, either stops this track.
Possible where you never had an earlier chance to dispute the amount itself.
Form 12153 to the address printed on the notice — certified mail, return receipt requested.
Check it against your IRS online account before acting; the notice there is the genuine one.
Levy action can proceed once the window closes; the equivalent-hearing fallback lasts one year and does not pause collection.
Where this sits on the ladder: This letter stands on its own track — see the collection ladder for the enforcement road.
