[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] Internal Revenue Service [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Request to Not Off Set Tax Refund for Rhode Island Residents Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to you as a concerned taxpayer from Rhode Island to request that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) refrain from offsetting my tax refund against any outstanding debts I may have towards the State of Rhode Island or any other federal agency. I understand that the IRS has the authority to offset tax refunds to satisfy certain federal and state debts, including past-due child support, student loans, or unpaid taxes. While I acknowledge the importance of fulfilling one's obligations, I kindly request that you consider my situation and suspend any offset actions against my tax refund for the following reasons: 1. Unforeseen Financial Hardship: Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am currently experiencing significant financial hardship. This hardship has severely impacted my ability to meet my financial obligations, including the repayment of any debts owed to Rhode Island or federal agencies. 2. Compliance Efforts: I assure you that I am actively working towards resolving my outstanding debts. I have been in communication with the relevant state and federal agencies to develop a feasible repayment plan. Please find enclosed proof of my ongoing efforts and a copy of my repayment plan. 3. State-Specific Situations: Rhode Island, like most states, has its own unique economic challenges. Given the current circumstances and the impact of the ongoing global pandemic, many Rhode Island residents are struggling to make ends meet. Suspending any offset actions would provide some relief and ensure that individuals can use their tax refund to support themselves and their families during these challenging times. I kindly request that you exercise your discretion and show leniency by temporarily halting any offset actions against my tax refund. Such a decision would be profoundly impactful in allowing me to stabilize my financial situation and meet my essential needs. I am more than willing to provide any additional documentation or information you may require to support my request. I can be reached at the contact details provided above, and I look forward to a favorable resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
