Frequently Asked Questions — LT11
What is an LT11 notice?
LT11 is a Final Notice of Intent to Levy. It's the IRS's last formal warning before they begin seizing your bank accounts, paycheck, and assets. You have 30 days to request a CDP hearing.
What happens after LT11?
If you don't respond within 30 days, the IRS will begin taking your paycheck via wage garnishment, freezing your bank account, and potentially seizing your vehicle or home.
Can I stop the levy?
Yes. Immediately request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing. An Enrolled Agent can present financial hardship, negotiate an installment agreement, or present an Offer in Compromise (OIC).
How much can they take from my paycheck?
The IRS can garnish up to 70% of your disposable income. This means if you make $4,000/month, they could take $2,800 per month, leaving you with minimal funds for living expenses.
