Actually, very simply, for forever. The Stautes of Limitation, which determine how far they can review and assess, do not start running until you file a return. Don't file, and they have forever to assess you, plus penalties, interest, etc. And of course, there is the criminal nature of the act to deal with. In reality, and assuming really big numbers aren't involved, the IRS will be interested in getting the last 7 years and you into future compliance.

Tax question lost all money gambling never filed taxes do you have to pay back taxes?

The answer is YES. The IRS does not care if you lost all your money gambling you are still responsible for paying taxes on the money you earned. The man concern I have here is that you have never filed your returns. This leaves you open to criminal charges for tax evasion. It is not illegal toowe money to the IRS but itis illegal not to file your annual tax returns. Make sure you get your returns filed and then the remaining debt can be negotiated with the IRS on how it is paid back. For more information check out www.taxdollarsandsense.blogspot.com.
