Is your tax federal government wiped out after ten years?

In general, an IRS debt has a statute of limitations of 10 years. If the government cannot collect the debt within ten years, they write it off and it is no longer a valid debt. There are several things that can "toll" the statute of limitations, or temporarily stop it from running. These can include, but are not limited to,: 1. Filing an Offer in Compromise -- the statute of limitations does not run for the entire time that an Offer in Compromise is under review. 2. Filing a lawsuit against the IRS -- the statute of limitations does not run for the entire time litigation against the IRS is pending. 3. Filing for bankruptcy -- the statute of limitations does not run while you are under the protection of the bankruptcy courts, and it does not begin running again until six months after the bankruptcy is discharged or dismissed. 4. Filing a Collection Due Process (CDP) Appeal: a CDP Appeal is an administrative appeal that can be filed to protest proposed levies and seizures of property. The statute of limitations does not run while this Appeal is pending. 5. Military members serving in combat zones: the statute of limitations does not run if you are a member of the military serving in a combat zone. There are other small things that stop the statute of limitations from running as well. As a general rule, whenever the IRS is legally prohibited from attempting to collect the debt the statute of limitations is not running. Because many people will take one or more of these actions throughout the course of a ten year period, in practice the IRS usually ends up having 11-12 years to collect a debt, but that depends on each individual situation. 10 years is the baseline that everyone starts with.


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.

When does the statute of limitations begin to run against a guarantor of a debt?

No. There is no statute of limitations "for a guarantor". However, there are statutes of limitations for different categories of debts. Statutes of limitation vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and for different types of contracts. For example a five year lease, a thirty year mortgage, a six year car loan. However, in the case of a default by the primary borrower, a creditor will generally seek payment from the guarantor prior to the tolling of the statute of limitations.
