The IRS Says I Owe from 10 Years Ago
Old tax debt may be close to expiration. Or it may have already expired. The analysis requires exact dates.
The Problem
You received an IRS notice about a tax debt from a decade ago. The balance has ballooned with penalties and interest. You thought this was over.
The Solution
The IRS has 10 years from the date of assessment to collect. If your Collection Statute Expiration Date has passed, the debt is legally uncollectible. But tolling events can extend the statute: OIC applications, bankruptcy filings, CDP hearings, and certain installment agreement requests all pause the clock.
The analysis requires your IRS transcripts and careful date calculations. Use the free calculator for a preliminary check, or let me pull your transcripts for the definitive answer.
