How to Get a Break with Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status

Are you drowning in tax debt with no clear way out? The IRS offers a lifeline called Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. This temporary reprieve can give you breathing room to get your finances back on track.

What is CNC Status, Anyway?
CNC status is like a timeout for the IRS. When they grant you this status, they acknowledge that you're facing financial hardship and can't pay your tax debt right now. This doesn't make your debt disappear, but it does give you some space to focus on getting back on your feet.

What's in it for you? Here are the benefits:
  • Temporary Reprieve: The IRS will back off for a while, and you won't have to worry about wage levies or asset seizures.
  • Reduced Financial Stress: You'll have more time to prioritize your essential expenses and get your finances stable.
  • Protection from IRS Collection Actions: The IRS won't take further collection actions while your account is in CNC status.

How to Get CNC Status
You'll need to show the IRS that you're really struggling. Here's what you need to do:
  • Fill Out Form 433-F: This form is like a financial snapshot. You'll need to provide details about your income, expenses, and assets.
  • Gather Supporting Docs: You'll need to attach proof of your income, expenses, and assets to your application.
  • Wait for the IRS to Review: The IRS will take a close look at your application and decide whether you qualify for CNC status.
