Introduction to Currently not Collectible Status: Essentials to Remember
Paying off tax debts can be challenging when you’re facing financial difficulties. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recognizes these situations and has provisions for taxpayers who cannot afford to pay their tax dues. One of these provisions is the “Currently Not Collectible” (CNC) status, also commonly referred to as IRS Non Collectible status or IRS uncollectible status.
The IRS has decided that given your current financial circumstances, it would be unfair to collect tax from you. However, remember that your tax debt is not entirely forgiven.
The IRS CNC status can be a lifeline if you’re struggling with tax debts amidst financial hardships. Want help understanding this process better? The Tax Resolution Experts are here to help you!
Our Process: How We Help You Get CNC Status
Document Collection
The IRS requires substantial proof of your financial hardship. We'll guide you in gathering all the necessary documentation, from bank statements and pay stubs to bills and other financial records. This ensures a thorough and accurate representation of your financial standing.
Negotiation with the IRS
Once we submit your application, we don't just wait. We actively engage with the IRS, advocating on your behalf. We aim to ensure they understand your genuine inability to pay and the necessity of granting you the CNC status.
Post-Approval Guidance
Securing CNC status is a significant relief, but it's essential to understand its implications. After approval, we'll guide you on the next steps, ensuring you remain compliant with IRS requirements and are aware of the accruing interest and penalties.
Initial Consultation
Our first step is to understand your financial situation. During this consultation, we'll review your tax history, current income, expenses, and any outstanding debts. This assessment will help determine if you are a suitable candidate for IRS non-collectible status.

A Step-By-Step Guide: How to Apply for IRS CNC?
Gather your documentation
You will need to provide the IRS with documentation to support your claim that you cannot pay your tax debt. This may include-
- Pay stubs
- Bank statements
- Investment statements
- Asset statements
- Proof of any unusual expenses, such as medical bills or childcare costs
File Form 433-A or Form 433-F
You must file either Form 433-A, Collection Information Statement for Wage Earners and Self-Employed Individuals, or Form 433-F, Collection Information Statement for Businesses, depending on your tax status.
Submit your application online
You can submit your application to the IRS by mail, fax, or online. If you submit your application by mail, send it to the IRS address listed on your Form 433-A or Form 433-F. If you submit your application by fax, fax it to the IRS number listed on your Form 433-A or Form 433-F. If you submit your application online, you can do so through the IRS website.
Follow up with the IRS for any updates
Once you have submitted your application, you should follow up with the IRS to check on the status of your application.
Why Do You Need Tax Resolution Experts To Handle This?
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits financial data submitted by taxpayers to ensure its accuracy. However, being selected for an audit doesn’t necessarily imply a problem. There are several reasons why you might be chosen:
Pause on Collections by IRS
We ensure that the IRS temporarily pursues aggressive collection actions like garnishing wages or levying bank accounts. We understand that you have to meet overhead costs too.
Protection from Aggressive Actions
With the CNC status in place, we ensure you are safeguarded against severe IRS actions such as asset seizures or property levies, relieving you during tough financial times.
Potential for Future Settlement
While on CNC status, the clock keeps ticking on the statute of limitations for your tax debt. If the IRS can only collect the tax debt after the statute of limitations expires, you might not have to pay it.
No Forced Monthly Payments
Unlike installment agreements, where you must make monthly payments to the IRS, we ensure that there are no mandated monthly payments under the CNC status.
Unlocking CNC Status: Extra Tips for a Smooth Application
- Be honest and accurate in your application.
- Provide the IRS with all of the documentation that they request.
- Be prepared to answer any IRS questions about your financial situation.
- Follow up with the IRS regularly to check on the status of your application.
