“uncollectible” (or “hardship”) status (temporary suspension of enforced collection action based on current inability to pay or make installment payments. This does NOT eliminate the tax liability, but does avoids current enforced collection action such as bank account levies and wage garnishments );
offers in compromise (payment of less than the full tax liability based on “inability to pay”, “doubt as to liability” or “effective tax administration”);

discharge of property from tax liens ( e.g., to permit sale of a particular property subject to a tax lien without full payment of the tax);
innocent spouse relief (allocation of liability or relief from liability for a spouse who did not know or have reason to know of tax liability and did not benefit from the income or otherwise inequitable to hold liable);
injured spouse relief (refund for non-liable spouse from capture of their share of refund);
