Currently Non-Collectible

What to do if you can’t pay.

It sounds so simple: just call the IRS, explain your financial circumstances, and they’ll qualify you for “Non- Collectible” status.

If you are deemed to be “Non-Collectible,” the IRS must immediately stop all levies and garnishments. But what if you say the wrong thing? What if you answer all their questions, and are then denied “Non-Collectible” status?

IRS agents can and will use any information you gave them to maximize their chances of collecting money from you.

Contact us before you try to go for “Non-Collectible” status on your own. We’ll let you know if this is your best option and we’ll make sure the IRS has the right information they need to make that determination and only that information.
