This notice gives you legal rights including the right to a hearing before the IRS seizes your assets. Understanding these rights is crucial to protecting yourself.
Unlike other IRS notices, LT11 includes your right to a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing. This is a powerful legal protection that can stop the levy and give you time to resolve your case.
The LT11 notice is the IRS's final warning before seizing your assets, but it comes with important legal protections:
Deadline: You have exactly 30 days from the date of this notice to request your CDP hearing.
What happens if you miss the deadline: You lose your right to a hearing and the IRS can proceed with seizing your assets.
How to request: File Form 12153 (Request for Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing) with the IRS office listed on your notice.
The Collection Due Process hearing is your most powerful legal protection against IRS collection. Our experienced tax attorneys can help you maximize this opportunity.
