jacknash711 | What is the Statute of Limitations for the IRS to collect taxes from you? |
Isn't it 7 years? If not please inform me. That's standard 1040 taxes that is. How long do they have before they run out of time legally? |

The statute is generally three years from the LATER of the date you file the return or the required filing date (i.e. April 15th). If there is a substantial understatement, as defined by the tax code, then the IRS has six years from the LATER of the date you file or the required filing date. If you didn't file or if you filed a fraudulent tax return, then there is not statute of limitation. Generally, the IRS will not require you to go back more than ten years if you are coming clean and filing past due returns. But that's just them being nice and the law does not require them to stop at ten years if you are not a nice person or tax protester.
Now, the above is all regarding the IRS "assessing" you for taxes. Once assessed, i.e. you receive a tax bill or file a return showing you owe money, the "collection" statute of limitations is ten years from that time.
The above is very general synopsis of the law. You need to speak with a professional who knows the law and specific facts surrounding your matter to give you a definite answer. |

Ten years after the tax is assessed.
The tax is assessed after the return is filed, or after the IRS prepares a substitute return. So, if you haven't filed for 1990, the IRS could still prepare a return for you, assess taxes, and try to collect it until 2018. If you filed a return for 2007 on time, they could try to collect the taxes until 4/15/2018. |

It's safe to assume that you're not safe to assume the old seven rule will save you. If you are afraid of owing back taxes (I assume you are) consult a tax professional. Of course, Mexico is nice this time of year. |
