- Final Notice of Intent to Levy (Letter 1058 or LT11)You generally have 30 days to request a Collection Due Process hearing with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals. IRC §6330(a)(3)(B).
- Notice of Federal Tax Lien filing (Letter 3172)You generally have 30 days, counted from a short period after the lien is filed, to request a Collection Due Process hearing. IRC §6320(a)(3)(B).
