How far back can you file income tax?

You can file as back as you want. If you owe taxes, the IRS will only prosecute up to seven years back, so it's recommended to only file the last seven years. If you are due a refund, the IRS will only refund the previous three years.


How far back can IRS collect debt owed to them by you?

There is no time limit imposed upon the IRS if there is any evidence of tax fraud on behalf of the taxpayer. Normally they do not go back past 7 years but if fraud was involved or intentionally not paying the amount of taxes due then the IRS can go back as long as is necessary.


If you owe back taxes to the IRS how far back can you count it?

It can go back for forever....if you didn't file a return, the Statute of Limitations never starts and hence, it never ends. That same SOL has many conditions that can make it go on and on...so if they assessed and you didn't pay, again, ot can go on and on. Generally, and only generally, the IRS will be unyielding on the last 7 years returns - or as far back as they show communication abut, if longer. ------- They came after me for the last 10 years. My CPA says they COULD come after me for prior years but since they have no computer records of anything either way, its unlikely they will. (I am working to resolve it now)


How far back can the US go back for a audit?

I believe the current policy is SIX YEARS without managerial approval. However, if you failed to file a tax return from anytime in the past and the IRS determines that you had sufficient income to have a filing requirement then Congress requires the IRS to file what is known as a Substitute For Return for you. The SFR will list ALL the income that the IRS is aware of. If, in previous years, you filed as Married Filing Jointly then the IRS will allow the Married Filing Separately standard deduction. If not, then the IRS will allow the Single standard deduction. Either way you will be allowed YOUR OWN exemption only - even if the previous year return had dependents listed. The IRS can get somewhat "tedious" with back-due taxes. You should acquire the services of a Tax Professional to "represent you" before the IRS instead of you having to go to see them.


How far can IRS go back for unfilled taxes?

The statute of limitations does not begin running until you file a tax return. So, if you haven't filed there is no theoretical limit to how far back they can go. Practical considerations may preclude going back an extreme length of time.

You havn't filed in years haven't made much money would you get anything back?

Not making much money is far different from not making any money because if you made any money, the US Govt will want their piece of it. If you earned legal income in the US (received a 1099 or W2 for it), chances are that the government will take offense with your tax evasion, no matter how minor you believe it to be. They might be nicer to you if you go to them first, but I doubt it will change much. Will you get anything back? I suspect you will get a letter from the IRS back.
