How often can the irs audit the same tax year?
The IRS generally has three years from the date you file your tax return to audit it, commonly referred to as the "statute of limitations." However, this period can be extended to six years if the IRS suspects you underreported your income by more than 25%. In cases of fraud or if no return was filed, there is no statute of limitations, allowing the IRS to audit at any time. Thus, the frequency of audits for the same tax year is limited by these time frames.
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.

What is the statute of limitations on filing a tax return if you were incarcerated?
The requirement to file tax returns do not change if one is incarcerated, nor is there an exemption to the penalties for filing late.

Of course, many inmates have little income and are not required to file a return for the years they are incarcerated.

What is the statute of limitations for ex to claim half of tax refund?
As far as the IRS is concerned, if your ex was not included on the tax return for the year that you are filing, they would have no claim to your refund. If you were filing a joint return for that year then the spouses name is listed on the return and they would have to sign the check in order for you to cash it. Be very careful here, if you endorse the check for the refund by signing your former spouses name to the check, you will be guilty of fraud by conversion and for forgery. The IRS will prosecute someone who commits forgery by signing someone else's name on a check.
