What type of Currently Not Collectible cases does Fidelity Tax Relief consider?

Currently not collectible (or CNC), means the IRS has determined you don't have the assets or the income to repay your tax debt. In such cases, the IRS stops the collection process until your financial situation improves. Some tax relief companies will either not accept cases with CNC status or have a policy to only take cases that fall within a maximum term before the CNC status expiration.

Fidelity Tax Relief will not consider tax cases that are currently not collectible.

What type of Installment Agreement Cases does Fidelity Tax Relief consider?

If a taxpayer already has an affordable installment agreement with the IRS, there may not be much a tax relief company can do to help. Which is why some tax relief companies will not take on these cases.

Fidelity Tax Relief will not consider taxpayers who have an installment agreement.

In fact, they will consider cases with an installment agreement when the taxpayer is not even at risk of default.

Does Fidelity Tax Relief have the staff to provide in-house services?

No, Fidelity Tax Relief partners with third party service providers who negotiate on behalf of the clients they enroll.
