Frequently Asked Questions — Letter 1058
What is Letter 1058?
Letter 1058 is a Final Notice and Demand for Payment combined with a Notice of Right to a Hearing Under IRC § 6330. It's issued after collection activities and gives you one final opportunity to appeal before asset seizure.
What does 'Right to a Hearing' mean?
You have the right to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing with an Appeals Officer. This hearing allows you to present financial hardship, dispute the debt, or negotiate settlement terms.
How long do I have to respond?
You have 30 days from the date of the letter to request a CDP hearing. This is critical—after 30 days, your right to appeal is gone and the IRS can seize your assets.
Can they take my house or business?
Yes. Letter 1058 is often the precursor to asset seizure. Without a timely appeal, the IRS can place a lien on your property, seize business assets, or force a sale of real estate.
