[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] Internal Revenue Service [Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Request for IRS not to Offset Tax Refund Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you in regard to my tax refund for the tax year [year]. I understand that the IRS has the authority to offset tax refunds to recover any outstanding debts owed to federal or state agencies. However, I kindly request that you refrain from offsetting my tax refund, as it would cause undue financial hardship for me and my family. I have been a law-abiding citizen and have always fulfilled my tax obligations promptly. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond my control have led to a temporary financial setback this year. [You may provide a brief explanation of the circumstances leading to the hardship, such as job loss, unexpected medical expenses, etc.] I am hoping that you can consider my situation and grant me an exemption from the offsetting process for this tax year. This exemption would greatly alleviate the financial burden I am currently facing and allow me to meet my essential living expenses. I have attached supporting documents that demonstrate the extent of my financial hardship, including bank statements, proof of unemployment benefits, medical bills, or any other relevant documentation to showcase my current financial situation. I am also open to providing any additional information or documentation that the IRS may require to evaluate my request. Furthermore, I understand the importance of resolving outstanding debts, and I am committed to fulfilling my obligations as soon as my financial situation improves. Furthermore, I am ready to work out a reasonable repayment plan if necessary or explore other options to clear the outstanding debt. Furthermore, I kindly request that you review my request promptly to ensure that my tax refund is not offset. Furthermore, I believe that doing so would not only assist me in overcoming my current financial challenges but also prevent any further disruption to my ability to meet basic needs for myself and my family. Thank you for considering my request. I trust in the IRS's understanding and compassion when faced with situations like mine. I am confident that you will evaluate my request with due diligence and afford me the opportunity for financial stability during this difficult period. Please feel free to contact me at [phone number] or [email address] if you have any questions or require further information. I would be more than willing to provide any assistance necessary to process my request as smoothly as possible. I am grateful for your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name]
