January 15, 2025

Receiving an IRS Letter 1058, also known as a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, is a serious matter that requires immediate attention. This letter indicates that the IRS intends to seize your property or rights to property due to unpaid taxes. At Total IRS Relief, co-founded by Jeff Lichtenberger and William Sharpe, we are here to help you navigate this challenging situation and protect your assets.

What Is IRS Letter 1058?

IRS Letter 1058 serves as a final warning that the IRS plans to levy your assets to satisfy outstanding tax debts. This can include garnishing wages, seizing bank accounts, or placing liens on property. The letter also informs you of your right to a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing to appeal the proposed levy action.

Why Did You Receive This Letter?

You received Letter 1058 because:

  • Unpaid Taxes: Despite previous notices, your tax balance remains unpaid.

  • Prior Notices: The IRS has sent multiple reminders, including CP501, CP502, CP503, and CP504, without receiving payment.

  • Immediate Action Required: The IRS is now taking steps to collect the debt through enforced measures.

Consequences of Ignoring Letter 1058

Failing to respond within 30 days can lead to:

  • Asset Seizure: The IRS may levy your bank accounts, wages, or other property.

  • Tax Liens: A federal tax lien may be filed against your current and future assets.

  • Increased Debt: Additional penalties and interest will accrue, increasing the amount owed.

How to Respond to IRS Letter 1058

  1. Review the Letter: Understand the amount owed and the proposed actions.

  2. Request a CDP Hearing: You have the right to request a Collection Due Process hearing within 30 days from the date of the letter. This hearing allows you to appeal the proposed levy action.

  3. Pay the Amount Due: If possible, pay the full amount to prevent enforcement actions.

  4. Set Up a Payment Plan: If full payment isn’t feasible, consider establishing an installment agreement with the IRS.

  5. Seek Professional Assistance: Consulting with tax professionals can help you navigate the process and negotiate with the IRS on your behalf.
