Subject: Request to Prevent IRS Offset of Tax Refund Dear [IRS Representative's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) refrain from offsetting my tax refund against any outstanding debts I may owe.

As an Alaskan taxpayer, I am aware of my obligation to meet my financial responsibilities, including any debts owed to federal agencies. However, I am currently experiencing significant economic hardships due to [explain the specific reasons that have led to your financial hardship, such as unemployment, unexpected medical bills, natural disasters, or other valid reasons]. I have attached relevant supporting documents, such as medical bills, termination letters, or other evidence that substantiates my financial difficulties. These documents should shed light on the severe impact these circumstances have had on my ability to fulfill my financial obligations promptly. Given the extraordinary circumstances, I kindly request two specific actions from the IRS: 1. Temporary Suspension of Debt Repayment: I request that the IRS temporarily suspend the collection efforts for my outstanding debts to ease the current strain on my financial situation.

This refund represents a significant aspect of my financial stability and will be used to cover essential expenses, overcome existing challenges, and contribute to regaining financial stability for myself and my family. I understand the importance of fulfilling my obligations and do not wish to evade my responsibility. However, given the impact of the aforementioned circumstances, I believe this respite will provide me with the stability needed to work towards clearing my debts on more solid ground. I kindly request a timely response to this letter, considering the time sensitivity of the matter. If you require any additional documentation or information to support my request, please do not hesitate to contact me at [your phone number] or [your email address]. Thank you for your understanding and assistance in this matter. I truly appreciate your attention to the hardship I am currently facing and the potential impact on my financial well-being.
