The time limit for a local tax collector to go back and collect unpaid taxes typically ranges from 3 to 7 years, depending on the jurisdiction. After this period, the tax collector may not be able to pursue collection of the outstanding taxes. It is advisable to consult with a tax professional or local tax authority to get accurate information specific to your situation.

How far back can you be tax audited?

You can (theoretically at least) be audited forever.However, if the results of the audit show that you owe more taxes, there are limits on how far back the IRS can collect the taxes. Generally, taxes cannot be collected three years after you file a return. If you understated your income by 25% or more, then the limit is six years. If there is willful tax fraud involved, there is no limit. If no return was filed, there is no limit.Even though the IRS might not be able to collect taxes from more than 3 or 6 years ago, they might want to audit an older return if you are carrying over amounts such as capital losses to a more recent year. Even though they might not be able to collect underpaid taxes from seven years ago, they can disallow a carryover you are taking that resulted from a transaction seven years ago. Or they might want to audit older tax returns if there is suspicion of criminal activity or if you are ever nominated to a prominent political office.Note: Limits on state taxes may be different and vary by state.

Can the California franchise tax board collect on taxes from 1989 when I'm now living in florida and receiving a bill now in 2012?

I think they can. You could live on the moon and they would get taxes from you. Did you earn the income in CA and not file your taxes because you were in Florida ? If you did that I think they can collect the taxes. Check with a tax attorney that knows CA taxes. Usually, they only go back 5 years and 1989 is further back than that. The state needs money and it wouldn't surprise me if they sent a tax bill to someone who is dead.


How can you acquire a 25 x 100 lot if there is 20 years of property tax owed on it and no heirs can be found?

I dont' know how it is in all localities, but here it is a __ step process.The county or state treasurer must declare the property taxes are in arrears. Then the property is listed in the sheriff's auction and anyone willing to pay the full back taxes then becomes the legal title holder. That has happened a number of times here to $150,000 homes with families still living in them who owed a couple years back taxes... The entire property was purchased for less than $8k.Good luck on the property -The actual procedure will very from state to state. California, the auction does not need to be conduct by a Sheriff and the property can be auctioned off after 5 years of delinquent property taxes. The best thing to do is contact tax collector or county assessor to about local procedures.Local lawsYes, it depends upon local laws and regulations. The tax collector may have to meet certain standards of diligence in attempting to locate and notify the current owners, and attempting to collect, prior to filing a tax deed to the municipality. After that, the local laws may permit public sale (auction) of no more than a quitclaim deed, or may provide a "bargain and sale deed" if the payment covers the delinquent taxes. Please be aware the most property acquired by tax auction is deeded to the new owner with a quitclaim deed which does not provide the same level of ownership and protection as a normal warranty deed.

Is a personal loan taken out in 1989 legally owed if never paid?

In most places the statute of limitations ran out long ago, so a lawsuit to collect the debt is void. In Texas the statute of limitations is four years unless some legal action has been taken within four years to collect the debt.Warning. I just read an item on this. If a debt collector contacts you about this loan and you offer to pay it back the statute of limitations starts again. IF you pay one dollar to the collector he can keep after you to collect the debt . Some debt collectors make a business of buying old debt and it is pure profit for them.
