Statute of Limitations
Many people do not realize that there is a statute
of limitations on both the IRS' right to audit your
returns, and its right to collect past due taxes from
you.
- A statute of limitations exists on IRS' right to
audit (generally 3 years from date of filing of returns)
- A
statute of limitations exists on IRS' right to
collect (generally 10 years from date of assessment
of liability)
- Both can be extended if an Offer
in Compromise is filed and not accepted; if a bankruptcy is filed and the debt was not discharged; if the
taxpayer is out of the country for at least 6 months;
or if the taxpayer voluntarily extends the statute.
