You would submit this form if you have reached a resolution or agreement with the IRS regarding the tax periods on the CDP/EH hearing request or you are satisfied that you no longer need a hearing with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (Appeals). By submitting this form, you withdraw your hearing request upon the filing of a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, receiving a levy notice, or both.
By withdrawing a CDP hearing request, you will give up your right to a hearing with Appeals and Appeals will not issue a Notice of Determination with respect to the tax and tax periods subject to your hearing request. Appeals will not verify that all legal and administrative requirements were met for the periods listed on the original request for a hearing. You will also give up your right to judicial review by the U.S. Tax Court of the Notice of Determination Appeals would have issued as a result of a CDP hearing. When the CDP hearing request is withdrawn, levy action is no longer suspended and the statutory period of limitation for collection, also known as the Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) is no longer suspended. The CSED marks the end of the collection period, the time period established by law for the IRS to collect taxes.
If you withdraw your request for a CDP hearing or EH, the IRS will not make a decision on your hearing request; however, you will not give up any other appeal rights that you may be entitled to, such as an appeal under the Collection Appeals Program (CAP). Please note that you cannot go to the U.S. Tax Court if you disagree with the CAP decision.
