Taxpayers must submit documentation and other financial details to the IRS for a thorough review. You may only have one chance to apply for Currently Not Collectible status.

Currently not Collectible status can last up to ten years. The IRS generally has ten years to collect back taxes, after which time they remove the back taxes.

You may be able to be deemed Currently not Collectible for ten years. After the statute of limitations runs out, the IRS will remove your tax obligation. It’s important to remember that the IRS will review your income situation every two years. If your financial situation improves, you will have to start paying back taxes.
