Currently Not Collectible
*2018 Updates*
If all of your past tax returns are filed, you have stopped pyramiding taxes and have furnished the IRS with all the applicable financial data, you may be eligible to have your tax debt placed in a currently not collectible status.
Typically the IRS will look at your financial situation every year to review your ability to pay the back tax debt. If after their review they determine you are making substantially more income will once again pursue enforced collection action such as bank levies and wage garnishments.
If the IRS determines that your financial condition has not improved they may still file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien to protect the government’s interest in all of your assets. The other drawback to this tax debt strategy is that penalties and interest are continuing to accrue.
