FAQs About CNC Status
Q: Does CNC wipe out my tax debt?
No. It only pauses collections. But some tax debts may expire if the statute runs during CNC.
Q: How long does CNC last?
The IRS reviews your finances periodically. If your situation improves, they may move you back into collections.
Q: Will the IRS put a lien on me?
They can. A tax lien is possible even while in CNC.
