The IRS uses two phrases for describing the status of past due taxes which are deemed not collectible: “Non Collectible Status” or “Currently Not Collectible.” Both of these phrases mean the same thing. What you should know about these phrases is that the IRS may defer collection efforts if you can manage to gain official entry to these categories. This simple strategy can help you buy time until you resolve your tax liability issues.
Once the IRS files a “Notice of Intent to Levy,” or has started any other steps to collect money from you, you may be in jeopardy of paycheck wage garnishment, bank account seizures or be in danger of having your assets taken and sold. Immediate steps are necessary to protect your assets from seizure.
