What Does Currently Not Collectible Mean?

Paying back taxes and living expenses at the same time can prove impossible for some people.

The IRS knows that there are situations in which you cannot make full payment without falling behind on your necessary living expenses, like:

  • Rent
  • Food
  • Utility bills
  • And more

When you agree that you owe the IRS money but are unable to make the payments without losing your basic needs, the IRS will deem your situation as “Currently Not Collectible,” or CNC status.
