Out of many IRS debt relief<\/strong> collection schemes, there is a program called\u00a0Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. If the taxpayer cannot pay their tax debts immediately but is willing to pay later, they can apply to IRS for CNC status.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the IRS determines and believes in your undertaking and finds the tax debt is not collectible, it will temporarily stop all collection actions against the taxpayer. This means the IRS will not issue levies, garnish wages, or seize assets while the taxpayer is in CNC status. However, it is essential to note that interest and penalties will continue to accrue on the unpaid tax balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temporary IRS debt relief procedure & eligibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be considered for CNC status, taxpayers must demonstrate to the IRS that they are facing financial hardship and that paying their tax debts would create an economic problem. The IRS typically requires detailed financial information from taxpayers to decide whether they qualify for CNC status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To request CNC status, call IRS at\u00a0800-829-1040<\/a>\u00a0or call the phone number on their bill or notice. or write a request. Taxpayers can also use the Online Payment Agreement application on the IRS website to request CNC status.IRS will gather various kinds of information through\u00a0Collection Information Statement\u00a0<\/strong>(Form 433-F<\/a>,\u00a0Form 433-A<\/a>,\u00a0Form 433-B<\/a>\u00a0along with proof of your financial status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the request, the taxpayer must provide detailed financial information to the IRS. This will typically include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Income and expense information, including wages, self-employment income, rental income, and other sources of income.<\/li>
  2. Asset information, including bank accounts, retirement accounts, and other assets.<\/li>
  3. Expense information includes rent or mortgage payments, utilities, transportation, and other living expenses.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Based on this information, the IRS will determine whether the taxpayer is eligible for CNC status. If the IRS approves the request, it will suspend all collection actions against the taxpayer. However, it is essential to note that taxpayers must continue to file their tax returns and pay any taxes due while in CNC status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If the taxpayer’s financial situation improves, the IRS may remove the taxpayer from CNC status and resume collection actions. additionally, if the taxpayer fails to file tax returns or pay taxes that come due while in CNC status, the IRS may also remove the taxpayer from the program and resume collection actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    IRS debt relief guidance on CNC status<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The IRS has issued several guidance documents and publications that provide information on CNC status and the criteria for determining whether a taxpayer is eligible for the program. One such publication is the Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) section 5.16.1.6<\/a>, which outlines the requirements for deciding CNC status and provides guidance on granting and revoking CNC status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice 2017-7 guides the use of CNC status<\/strong> in conjunction with the Offer in Compromise <\/a>(OIC) program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
