If you receive an IRS notice labeled LT-11, it means that the IRS has identified a discrepancy in your tax return and is requesting additional information to resolve the issue. This notice can be intimidating and confusing, but it’s important to stay calm and take the necessary steps to resolve the problem.

When you receive an LT-11 notice, it’s important to read it carefully and follow the instructions provided. The notice will typically outline the specific issue the IRS has identified and will provide a deadline for responding. It’s important to respond to the notice by the deadline to avoid further action by the IRS.

In some cases, the LT-11 notice may simply request additional information or documentation to support your tax return. This could include things like receipts or other proof of deductions or credits claimed on your return. If this is the case, it’s important to gather the necessary documentation and submit it to the IRS by the deadline.

In other cases, the LT-11 notice may indicate that the IRS has identified an error in your tax return and is requesting that you pay additional taxes. If this is the case, it’s important to carefully review the notice and any supporting documentation provided by the IRS. You may have the option to challenge the IRS’s determination, either by requesting a hearing or by submitting a written request for reconsideration.

Regardless of the specific issue identified in the LT-11 notice, it’s important to act promptly and take the necessary steps to resolve the problem. Failure to respond to the notice or pay any additional taxes owed can result in further action by the IRS, including penalties and interest.

If you’re unsure about how to respond to an LT-11 notice or if you believe the IRS’s determination is incorrect, it may be helpful to seek the guidance of a tax attorney.
