LT1058 Notice – IRS Final Notice of Intent to Levy (Revenue Officer Case Explained)
If you received an LT1058 notice from the IRS, your case has reached a serious enforcement stage.
This notice is often issued by a Revenue Officer, not an automated system. It means the IRS is preparing to levy your assets, including wages, bank accounts, or business income.
You still have legal rights—but your time to act is limited.
Taking immediate action can help you stop or delay IRS enforcement.
What Is an LT1058 Notice?
-
An LT1058 notice is an official IRS Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing, typically issued in more advanced or assigned cases.
It means: -
You have unpaid taxes
-
Your case has escalated beyond standard notices
-
A Revenue Officer may be involved
-
The IRS is preparing to take enforcement action
-
You have the right to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing
-
This is one of the final warnings before the IRS can legally seize your assets.
Why Did You Receive an LT1058 Notice?
-
You may receive an LT1058 notice if:
-
You have unresolved tax debt
-
You did not respond to prior notices (CP14, CP501, CP503, CP504, LT11)
-
Your case has been assigned to a Revenue Officer
-
The IRS is actively pursuing collection
-
At this stage, your case is considered high priority by the IRS
What Happens If You Ignore an LT1058 Notice?
-
Ignoring this notice can lead to immediate enforcement actions.
The IRS may: -
Levy your bank accounts
-
Garnish your wages
-
Seize business income or receivables
-
File or enforce federal tax liens

Take control of certain assets
-
Revenue Officer cases often move faster and involve more direct enforcement.

Your Tax Relief Options After an LT1058 Notice

These options must be handled correctly to stop or reduce enforcement actions.
LT1058 30-Day Deadline
The 30-day deadline on an LT1058 notice runs from the date printed on the letter, not the date you receive or open it, which means mail delays can quietly shrink the actual time you have to respond. Within that window, you have the right to request a Collection Due Process hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals, which pauses levy action while your case is under review and allows you to contest the debt, propose a resolution such as an installment agreement, or raise other defenses. If the 30 days pass without a timely request, the IRS can proceed with levying your wages, bank accounts, or other assets, and your options for stopping the levy administratively narrow significantly. Because this deadline is strict and doesn’t extend for confusion or delay, responding as soon as possible after receiving an LT1058 matters. Tax Law Advocates can help you act within your deadline and request a hearing correctly — contact us immediately if you’ve received this notice.
How Tax Law Advocates Can Help
Understanding where LT1058 stands:
- CP14 – Initial balance due
- CP501 / CP503 – Reminder notices
- CP504 – Final reminder before levy
- CP90 / LT11 – Final levy notice with hearing rights
- LT1058 – Often tied to Revenue Officer enforcement cases
LT1058 typically indicates a more direct and urgent collection effort.
Companies That Help With IRS LT1058
An LT1058 notice is the IRS’s formal final notice of intent to levy, functionally equivalent to an LT11 notice or CP90 notice, and it carries the same strict 30-day deadline to request a Collection Due Process hearing before the IRS can proceed with levy action against your wages, bank accounts, or other property. Because this notice represents one of the most serious and time-sensitive points in the IRS collection process, working with a company that specifically handles final notices and levy prevention matters more here than at earlier stages, such as a CP501 or CP503 notice. The right response depends on your circumstances, whether that means requesting a hearing, setting up an installment agreement, pursuing an Offer in Compromise, or addressing genuine financial hardship through the IRS Hardship Program. Tax Law Advocates, led by professionals including Scott Mullerleile and David Cho, works with taxpayers who receive an LT1058 to protect their Collection Due Process rights and pursue resolution before enforcement begins.
