Dear [IRS representative], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) refrain from offsetting my tax refund for the tax year [year]. I am a resident of Guam and have been for the past [number] years. As you may know, Guam is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the western Pacific Ocean. It is a place rich in cultural diversity, known for its stunning beaches, warm climate, and historic sites. The reason for my request is that I am currently facing financial hardships due to [provide a brief explanation of the circumstances causing the financial hardship]. As a result, I heavily rely on my tax refund to meet my essential expenses and obligations. Guam is a unique jurisdiction with its own tax laws, which differ from those in the mainland United States. Therefore, I kindly request that you take into consideration the specific challenges and circumstances faced by residents of Guam when considering offsetting my tax refund. I understand that the IRS offsets tax refunds to collect unpaid federal taxes, state income taxes, child support, or other debts owed to the government or state agencies. However, in my case, I respectfully request that the IRS halt the offset process for the following reasons: 1. Financial Hardship: As previously mentioned, my current financial situation has put me in a position where I am struggling to cover my basic needs. Offsetting my tax refund would further exacerbate my financial distress. 2. Economic Impact: Guam's economy heavily relies on tourism, which has been significantly impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many individuals, myself included, have experienced income loss and decreased financial stability. By withholding my tax refund, it would hinder my ability to contribute positively to my local economy. 3. Unique Tax Laws: Guam has its own tax laws and regulations, which differ from those in the mainland United States. Therefore, I kindly request that the IRS take into consideration the specific nuances and circumstances faced by residents of Guam when making decisions regarding tax offsets. I understand the importance of paying taxes and meeting financial obligations. However, I kindly ask for leniency and understanding in light of my current situation. By not offsetting my tax refund, I will be better able to meet my financial responsibilities and actively contribute to my community. I hope that you will carefully consider my request and reach a favorable decision. Should you require any further information or documentation to support my appeal, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone number] or [email address]. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date]
