Welcome to my channel! I’m Sullivan, a former IRS agent and teaching instructor, and today I’m excited to share valuable insights into the IRS 10-Year Statute of Limitations. As someone who has spent a decade working with the IRS and handling thousands of cases, I’m here to help you understand this important aspect of tax law.

The statute of limitations for the IRS is generally 10 years, and it begins from the date of your tax assessment. But what exactly does that mean? If you filed your tax return on April 15, it might take some time for the IRS to process that return and officially enter it into their system. This processing time is crucial because it determines when the 10-year countdown starts. For example, if you filed a paper return, it might take several weeks before your return is fully processed. However, if you filed electronically, you may see a quicker turnaround.

It’s important to note that certain events can extend this 10-year period. Payments, agreements, offers in compromise, bankruptcies, and litigation can all affect how long the IRS has to collect your owed taxes. If any of these situations apply to you, it’s essential to pull up your IRS transcript to determine your accurate timeline.

Keep in mind that if nothing has changed and you simply filed your return, the 10-year period will typically expire without any issues. However, be cautious about reaching out to the IRS directly regarding your statute of limitations, as this could trigger action on their part. Instead, it’s wise to pull your IRS transcripts or consult a professional who can access the IRS system for precise information.

Does the 10 year period apply to the frivolous penalty?

On my 2012 tax year transcript, did not list and I could not deceminate the statue of limitations date. I did call and was told 5/9/15 was the date for that tax year. Extended by payment agreement not met, local revenue agent working my case. Just a FYI.

Isn't it if they owe us we got only three years to claw back that money?
If so that would certainly not be equality before the law to my simple mind.
