Subject: Request for IRS Not to Offset Tax Refund Against Outstanding Balance Dear [IRS Representative/IRS Department], I am writing to request your assistance in preventing the offsetting of my tax refund against an outstanding balance I owe to the Internal Revenue Service. My intention is to resolve this matter and fulfill my financial obligations without jeopardizing my ability to meet other important financial responsibilities. As a law-abiding taxpayer, I have always strived to fulfill my tax obligations promptly and accurately. However, due to unforeseen circumstances [provide a brief explanation, if applicable, such as job loss, medical expenses, or other financial difficulties], I found myself unable to fulfill my tax liability for the specified period. I sincerely apologize for the delay in clearing my outstanding balance, and I am committed to settling this matter as soon as possible. In order to do so, I am kindly requesting that the IRS halt the process of offsetting my tax refund against the amount owed, as this would place an additional burden on me and hinder my efforts to resolve the outstanding balance separately. I understand that the Internal Revenue Service has multiple types of Florida sample letters for a request to refrain from offsetting a tax refund against an outstanding balance. Though I am unsure of the specific categorization, I would appreciate any guidance or information you can provide on these available templates. It will greatly assist me in tailoring my request to align with the applicable requirements and further streamline the process. Additionally, I would be grateful if you could provide me with any documentation or forms that are necessary for me to complete in order to successfully request the IRS not to offset my tax refund against the outstanding balance. I assure you that I am committed to resolving this issue promptly, and in good faith, I am willing to explore alternative payment arrangements such as installment plans or other options that the IRS may suggest. Please consider my request with empathy and understanding, as I earnestly seek a positive resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you require any further information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at [your phone number or email address]. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Taxpayer Identification Number]
