Welcome to the IRS Hardship Program category, a crucial resource for taxpayers experiencing severe financial difficulties that prevent them from paying their tax debts. When your basic living expenses make it impossible to cover what you owe the IRS, you may qualify for relief under what is commonly known as the IRS Hardship Program.
This isn’t a single program but rather a status the IRS can grant, officially known as “Currently Not Collectible” (CNC). Achieving this status can provide immediate and significant relief by pausing collection activities, including wage garnishments and bank levies, until your financial situation improves. It offers essential breathing room for those who are struggling just to afford housing, food, and other necessities.
In this section, you’ll find comprehensive information dedicated to helping you understand every aspect of IRS hardship provisions. We will guide you through what it means to be in CNC status, how the IRS determines financial hardship, and the specific documentation required to prove your case.
Our articles explore the detailed financial analysis the IRS conducts, using Form 433-A, 433-B, or 433-F to assess your income, expenses, and assets. We break down the IRS’s national and local standards for living expenses to help you understand if you meet the criteria.
Explore our expert content to learn how to apply for hardship status, what to expect during the process, and what happens once you are approved. This category is your guide to navigating one of the most important relief options available for taxpayers in truly difficult financial circumstances.
