That envelope marked "Final Notice of Intent to Levy" is scary, but it is not the end. Before you panic, do these 3 things:
1️⃣ Don't ignore it. You typically have 30 days before the IRS can levy your wages or bank accounts.
2️⃣ Verify the notice. Check the notice number (CP90, LT11, etc.) and confirm the balance is actually yours.
3️⃣ Know your options. Payment plans, hardship status, and settlement programs exist, and most people qualify for something.
