The IRS Statute of limitations for IRS tax debt

IRS Statute of Limitations – Advantages To Taxpayers

The IRS has ten years to the collect the amount of taxes owed by the taxpayer. The IRS will not tell you about this one method of resolving your back taxes. If the amount of taxes owed is recently assessed, you should not aim for this because IRS will take necessary measures for collecting the amount of taxes owed. If your name appears in currently not collectible for many years you may consider the point where statute of limitation will expire.

Other important rule which fall under the statute of limitation is that if you have filed a tax return and they are not assessed by the IRS within three years from the date it was filed, they legally cannot collect the amount of taxes that you would have owed. Meaning you will be escaping with out paying the amount of taxes which you owes to the IRS. But this is very rare that an assessment will be missed by the agent. But sometimes errors can be made and you might escape with out paying the amount of taxes owed.


The most common rule for statute of limitations is 10 years rule. According to this rule IRS can collect the amount of taxes owed by you within 10 years.  As the deadline gets close the IRS will take every measure to get the statute of limitations reset by forcing you take certain actions. Following are the ways through which extensions can be made on statute by you or by the IRS

  • You were not present in the country
  • File for bankruptcy
  • Offer in compromise (OIC) filed by you
  • Waiver form signed by you



You can hire a tax attorney if you have questionable case. It’s better to consult with a tax attorney if you think that statute of limitations have exceeded or will exceed and still strict actions are taken against you by the IRS.
