Of course there are tax laws governing who can and who cannot benefit from the Currently Not Collectible status. The good news is the IRS does not pursue collection activity against you on a CNC, plus the statute of limitations on the tax liabilities will continue to run. Unless your financial situation changes, the account will remain on a CNC status until the tax liabilities end.

If you do not pay your taxes, the IRS will demand payment by phone, by field visits and by letters. If you ignore the demands for payment the IRS will give legal notice that it is taking other steps to collect the taxes. One method that the IRS uses to collect the overdue taxes is through wage garnishments. At IRS-SOLV we constantly have IRS negotiations to release wage garnishments for our clients.

If the taxpayer ignores the demands for payment, the IRS will give legal notice that it is taking other steps to collect the taxes. One method used by the IRS to collect back taxes is the bank levy. Convincing the IRS to release a bank levy can be quite difficult. At IRS-SOLV we have conducted countless bank levy release negotiations over our 30 years.
