🚨 Facing IRS Collections or a Possible Levy?

📝 How an Enrolled Agent Can Stop IRS Levies and Collections

If you’ve received notices like:

  • CP504

  • LT11

  • Letter 1058

👉 The IRS may be preparing to take action to collect your tax debt.

At this stage, it’s important to understand what’s happening—and how to stop it.



đź“„ What Is an IRS Levy?

An IRS levy is a legal action that allows the IRS to seize your assets to pay off a tax debt.

This can include:

  • Bank account funds

  • Wages (garnishment)

  • Business income

  • Certain assets

👉 A levy is one of the most serious steps the IRS can take.



⚠️ How the IRS Gets to This Point

Before a levy happens, the IRS typically sends multiple notices:

  1. CP14 – Balance due

  2. CP501 / CP503 – Follow-up reminders

  3. CP504 – Final notice before collection

  4. LT11 or Letter 1058 – Intent to levy

👉 By the time you receive LT11 or 1058, the IRS is very close to taking action.



⏳ Can an IRS Levy Be Stopped?

Yes—but timing is critical.

You may still be able to:

  • Request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing

  • Set up a payment plan (installment agreement)

  • Work toward a resolution

👉 Acting quickly gives you more options and better outcomes.
