Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status is a designation by the IRS that temporarily pauses collection activity when a taxpayer cannot afford to pay their tax debt. Achieving CNC status provides valuable relief by suspending levies, wage garnishments, and other aggressive collection efforts while you stabilize your finances.
Navigating the criteria and application process for CNC status demands careful documentation of your income, expenses, and financial hardship. Brightside Tax Relief LLC assists Indiana residents by preparing accurate submissions and communications with tax authorities to pursue this protective status strategically and thoroughly.
