A Missouri FOR Stay Order is a legal action taken by the Missouri Department of Revenue (FOR) to stop collection activities against a taxpayer. It is used to protect taxpayers from aggressive collection tactics, including wage garnishments, bank levies, and other enforcement measures. There are two types of Missouri FOR Stay Orders: Automatic Stay Orders and Voluntary Stay Orders. Automatic Stay Orders are issued when the FOR receives a bankruptcy notice from the taxpayer’s attorney. This type of Stay Order halts all collection activities until the bankruptcy is resolved. Voluntary Stay Orders are issued when a taxpayer requests one from the FOR. This type of Stay Order is used to suspend collection activities while the taxpayer resolves their tax debt by entering into a payment plan or other resolution. In order to qualify for a Voluntary Stay Order, the taxpayer must demonstrate that they are willing and able to comply with the terms of the agreement.
