Currently Non-Collectible (CNC): Pause IRS Collections and Find Financial Relief

If you’re overwhelmed by IRS tax debt and simply can’t afford to pay, you may qualify for Currently Non-Collectible (CNC) status. This program, offered by the IRS, temporarily halts aggressive collection actions like wage garnishments, bank levies, and property liens, giving you the financial breathing room you need. At Tax Defender Pro, we specialize in helping individuals and businesses secure CNC status and explore long-term solutions to resolve their tax debt for good.


What Is Currently Non-Collectible (CNC) Status?

Currently Non-Collectible status is a temporary IRS designation that suspends all collection efforts if you can prove that paying your tax debt would cause financial hardship. While in CNC status, the IRS agrees to pause enforcement actions, such as:

  • Wage Garnishments: Protect your paycheck from IRS seizure.
  • Bank Levies: Prevent the IRS from freezing or taking money from your accounts.
  • Tax Liens: While existing liens remain, new ones won’t be issued.
  • Other Collections: Stop threats, letters, and calls from the IRS demanding payment.

Although CNC status doesn’t erase your tax debt, it can buy you time to recover financially and explore permanent tax resolution options, such as Offer in Compromise or installment agreements.


Who Qualifies for CNC Status?

Not everyone qualifies for CNC status, but it’s a lifeline for those experiencing true financial hardship. The IRS considers the following factors when determining eligibility:

  1. Financial Hardship: You must demonstrate that paying your tax debt would leave you unable to cover basic living expenses, such as housing, utilities, food, and transportation.
  2. Income vs. Expenses: The IRS will analyze your income, allowable expenses, and overall financial situation to determine if you truly can’t pay.
  3. No Significant Assets: If you have substantial assets that could be sold to pay your tax debt, you might not qualify for CNC.

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, Tax Defender Pro can review your financial situation and guide you through the process.
