What the letter says
Same effect as an LT11: the last notice before wages, bank accounts, or other property can be levied. The 30-day hearing right is the protection.
What to do
Pay, propose an installment agreement, or file Form 12153 to request a hearing, which pauses the levy while appeals reviews your case.
What to gather
- Every collection notice with dates
- Balance records
- Form 12153
- A monthly budget
Write back
The Payment plan request cover letter tool builds the response in the order the IRS reads it. Fill it in, review it, print it, and send it with copies of the documents above and the notice stub on top.
