What this letter means
Same purpose as the LT11. The IRS plans to levy, and you can request a Collection Due Process hearing.
Why you probably got it
A balance has gone unpaid after earlier notices.
Your deadline
You have 30 days from the date of the letter to request a hearing on Form 12153.
What to do next
- Mark the 30-day deadline today.
- File Form 12153 if you want a hearing or need time to propose a payment option.
- Reach out for professional help right away.
Scam check: The IRS starts contact by mail. It will never demand payment by gift card, wire transfer, or cryptocurrency, or threaten immediate arrest. Pay only at IRS.gov or by check to the U.S. Treasury, and confirm any phone number at IRS.gov before calling.
