 Getting a state bank levy release by declaring financial hardship

If you can’t afford to pay off taxes, or even pay monthly, you can declare financial hardship. In other words, you can apply for Currently Not Collectible status. When you’re under Currently not Collectible, the IRS is not allowed to perform any collection actions on you. However, keep in mind that you will need to show financial proof before being approved for CNC. In other words, you’ll have to prove your financial hardship status to the state. Taxing authorities must confirm that you’ll have no money left over for basic living expenses after paying taxes. However, it’s important to keep a few things in mind when considering CNC.

What to know about Currently not Collectible Status

First, Currently not Collectible status does not clear your tax debt. In other words, you will still have a tax debt while you’re in Currently not Collectible status. However, you just won’t have to pay back taxes while you’re in CNC status. The positive side is being in CNC will give you the chance to come up with a payment plan.

Whether you can pay back taxes, pay monthly payments or are declared CNC, call FinishLine Tax Solutions. We can help you get your state bank levy released and prevent you from getting levied again.
