What is Doubt as to Collectibility?

Appeal

To put it simply, it is an agreement that acknowledges the taxpayer’s debt and inability to pay in full. It can be quite difficult to prove doubt with respect to collectibility. The IRS rarely accepts such statements at face value and may carefully review your circumstances to see if your financial condition is as terrible as you’ve claimed. 

It is best to be ready for a thorough review of your financial records, including your pay stubs, additional sources of income, and even the assets owned by close relatives. 

Quick Facts

In cases of Doubt as to Collectibility, the tax authority may explore alternative methods for collecting the outstanding tax debt. These alternatives aim to strike a balance between collecting what is owed and considering the taxpayer’s financial limitations.

In this case, the taxpayer is obligated by law to show the following:

1. According to the taxpayer’s current assets and income, the amount provided is the maximum that may be expected to be paid or collected; and

  1. The taxpayer doesn’t have any realistic chances of increasing income or obtaining assets that would allow them to pay down more of the tax obligation than what has been offered, within a reasonable amount of time.
