IRS Collection Statute Expiration Dates
The Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) for IRS taxes is, in most cases, 10 years. Once this Statute period has run, any remaining tax debt is forgiven. The statutory period begins on the date the tax debt is assessed which is usually shortly after a taxpayers returns are filed. If a taxpayer never filed their returns the Collection Statute would begin on the date that the IRS creates a substitute return (SFR) for the taxpayer.
