Currently not Collectable Status

The IRS classifies taxpayers into several categories based on numerous factors that are present in a taxpayer’s financial and lifestyle circumstances, also known as his/her “status.” One status in particular, the Status 53, applies to taxpayers who owe taxes from previous years, but who currently have no ability to settle those debts. Status 53 is used for those people who are deemed to be “currently not collectible.”

By being placed on Status 53, taxpayers have significantly more breathing room for payment of their back taxes. As soon as a taxpayer is deemed currently not collectible, the IRS is required to cease all collection activities immediately. The IRS will, although, still send the taxpayer an annual statement that shows the amount of taxes still outstanding, but this is not a bill. It is important to note that the debt does not go away simply because of the status, and the IRS may still file a tax lien on future assets.

There are many IRS classifications that American taxpayers fall under that are based on their financial and life circumstances. One such classification is Status 53, which is for people who do not have the funds to settle their tax debt. People who qualify for this classification are placed on currently not collectible status. If you are struggling to make payments to the IRS, you should consider applying for Status 53 protection.

Get qualified for IRS uncollectible status

If you are placed on Status 53 protection, the IRS will immediately cease all collection activities; however, the debt will not be forgiven merely because you are on IRS currently not collectible status. Delinquent taxpayers are still responsible for all tax debts. To qualify, you must provide proof that you are unable to pay your taxes and complete a Collection Information Statement (CIS). You can be approved if:

• The taxpayer is deceased and the estate has no collection potential
• Collection will create a financial hardship for the taxpayer
• You are unemployed
• You are dependent on social security payments or welfare

Getting protection will give you one year to get back on your financial feet. You can apply for an extension if the IRS believes you are not yet able to begin making payments.
