LEVY RISK: This notice can lead to seizure of your bank accounts, wages, or other assets if left unresolved.
Balance Due — Levy Warning
30 days before the IRS issues a final levy notice and begins enforcement action.
You have an outstanding balance and the IRS is warning that levy action is approaching. This notice comes after earlier balance-due notices have been ignored. You have not yet received a final levy notice but you are close to that point.
An LT11 (Final Notice of Intent to Levy) will follow, which triggers the right to a Collection Due Process hearing and then actual levy of bank accounts and wages.
Act within the next two weeks — do not wait for the 30-day deadline
If you can pay in full, do so immediately to stop all further notices and penalty accrual
If you cannot pay, set up an installment agreement — this stops all collection action including the progression to levy
Pull your IRS account transcripts to confirm the exact balance including penalties and interest
If you have had 3 years of prior compliance, apply for First-Time Penalty Abatement to remove failure-to-pay penalties before negotiating a payment amount
