Frequently Asked Questions
What is Currently Not Collectible status?
Currently Not Collectible status is an IRS determination that pauses active collection efforts on your tax debt because you can't afford to pay right now without risking basic living expenses. Your debt isn’t forgiven, but collection actions like levies and garnishments stop while you’re in this status.
Will the IRS still contact me or take my assets?
Once you’re granted Currently Not Collectible status, the IRS typically stops collection efforts such as wage garnishments, bank levies, and threatening letters. However, interest and penalties can still accrue until your situation changes or you qualify for another resolution option.
What does it cost to get help?
Your first consultation is free and comes with no obligation. After reviewing your case, we explain our fees, which are based on your specific situation and its complexity. We do not charge for that initial conversation, and there’s no pressure to move forward.
Do I have to use special technology for this process?
No special technology is needed. Most of our work can be handled by phone or mail, and we walk you through each step personally. We make everything as simple and clear as possible, so you never feel overwhelmed by forms or websites.
What if I don’t qualify for Currently Not Collectible status?
If Currently Not Collectible status isn’t an option for you, we’ll honestly explain why and help you explore other solutions, such as payment plans, penalty abatement, or offer in compromise. Our goal is always to find the relief path that best fits your needs.
