What is The IRS Hardship Program?

The IRS Hardship Program, also known as Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status, offers financial relief to taxpayers who are unable to pay their tax liabilities due to severe financial troubles. If eligible, you won’t be required to make tax payments while in a CNC status. You are also protected from certain collection actions. The IRS cannot take your paycheck, levy your bank accounts, or seize your property while you’re in a hardship status.

IRS Hardship Eligibility

The IRS considers many factors when determining a taxpayer’s eligibility for the hardship program. In general, the following must be true:

Additionally, the IRS will likely ask you to submit a Collection Information Statement (Form 433-A, 433-B, or 433-F). This provides a snapshot of your finances (income and expenses) and verifies you meet the requirements for the IRS hardship program. Those with little or no disposable income after meeting their reasonable living expenses typically qualify for CNC status.

It’s important to note that the IRS hardship program is only available to individual taxpayers, small business owners, and those who are self-employed. Corporations are not eligible for this type of tax relief. The IRS will also periodically review your financial circumstances to determine your continued hardship eligibility.
