LT11 — Final notice of intent to levy
This is a serious collection notice. The IRS is warning that it may levy (take) assets or wages if the balance is not resolved. Deadlines matter.

Read the deadline
Response or collection dates on the letter matter more than internet scare stories.
Match the facts
Compare the notice to your return, books, and third-party forms before you reply.
Pick a path
Pay, installment, relief, CNC, or hearing rights — fit-checked to your cash and liability.
Keep books honest
Resolution fails when the ledger cannot defend the story. We align numbers with the plan.

LT11
Do not wait. Gather the notice, recent account transcripts if you have them, and cash-flow reality. Call for a same-week plan — installment, CNC, or other resolution before levy actions start.
Why LT11 is different
Earlier letters ask. LT11-class notices signal collection power is next. Appeal and collection-due-process rights can attach to certain final notices — timing is everything.
What we do first
1. Identify the exact year(s) and type of tax
2. Stop the bleeding with a realistic payment or hold path
3. Align books and returns so the plan holds
If you received LT11, treat it as urgent — not “next month.”
