What Is The Difference Between An Offer In Compromise And Currently Not Collectible?

Currently Not Collectible is a status where the IRS agrees with the taxpayer that the tax is not able to be collected based upon the taxpayer’s current situation. That situation can change and the tax from the taxpayer can become collectible later. During the period the taxpayer is in Currently Not Collectible status, no attempts are made to collect the debt. In an accepted Offer in Compromise, even if the taxpayers circumstances change for the better, the agreement remains in effect and the taxpayer only owes the agreed to amount.
