Tax Resolution Services
If you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot pay your tax debt, Direct Tax Relief can help negotiate a “currently not collectible” status for your back taxes.
Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status is a critical relief option provided by the IRS for taxpayers who are experiencing significant financial hardship and are unable to pay their tax debts. When the IRS grants CNC status, it acknowledges that the taxpayer has no current ability to make payments towards their outstanding tax liabilities. This status temporarily suspends all collection activities, including levies, garnishments, and other enforcement actions. It provides immediate relief to individuals facing severe financial challenges, allowing them time to stabilize their financial situation without the added pressure of IRS collection efforts.
Financial Relief
Currently Not Collectible status offers immediate financial relief for individuals who are struggling to meet their basic living expenses while facing substantial tax debts. It allows taxpayers to prioritize essential needs such as housing, food, and healthcare without the threat of IRS collection actions.
Protection from Collections
Once declared Currently Not Collectible, the IRS halts all collection efforts against the taxpayer. This includes suspending wage garnishments, bank levies, and other forms of enforced collection. It provides peace of mind and a temporary respite from the stress and financial strain of dealing with aggressive IRS collection actions.
No Required Payments
During the period of Currently Not Collectible status, taxpayers are not required to make monthly payments towards their tax debt. This provides breathing room and allows individuals to focus on improving their financial situation without the immediate burden of paying back taxes.
