Generally, the statute of limitations on assessment of a tax deficiency is three years from the date a tax return was due UNLESS the deficiency was substantial, meaning a return failed to include 25% or more of the gross income it should have, in which case the statute of limitations extends to six years. And there's no statute of limitations on a taxpayer who was required to file a return and failed to do so.

How far back can the US go back for a audit?
I believe the current policy is SIX YEARS without managerial approval. However, if you failed to file a tax return from anytime in the past and the IRS determines that you had sufficient income to have a filing requirement then Congress requires the IRS to file what is known as a Substitute For Return for you. The SFR will list ALL the income that the IRS is aware of. If, in previous years, you filed as Married Filing Jointly then the IRS will allow the Married Filing Separately standard deduction. If not, then the IRS will allow the Single standard deduction. Either way you will be allowed YOUR OWN exemption only - even if the previous year return had dependents listed. The IRS can get somewhat "tedious" with back-due taxes. You should acquire the services of a Tax Professional to "represent you" before the IRS instead of you having to go to see them.

How far back can you be tax audited?
You can (theoretically at least) be audited forever.However, if the results of the audit show that you owe more taxes, there are limits on how far back the IRS can collect the taxes. Generally, taxes cannot be collected three years after you file a return. If you understated your income by 25% or more, then the limit is six years. If there is willful tax fraud involved, there is no limit. If no return was filed, there is no limit.Even though the IRS might not be able to collect taxes from more than 3 or 6 years ago, they might want to audit an older return if you are carrying over amounts such as capital losses to a more recent year. Even though they might not be able to collect underpaid taxes from seven years ago, they can disallow a carryover you are taking that resulted from a transaction seven years ago. Or they might want to audit older tax returns if there is suspicion of criminal activity or if you are ever nominated to a prominent political office.Note: Limits on state taxes may be different and vary by state.

What happens when your income tax refund is garnished for debt?
So you were expecting a tax refund from the IRS after you filed a tax return. Insteasd of getting your refund, the IRS sent you a letter saying that your refund was used (garnished) to satisfy your back tax debt. What is going on? This means that you have a back tax liablility with the IRS and the IRS will take your refund to satidfy that debt. If you got your refund check garnished and you were unaware you owed the IRS, you need to take care of this situation fast.
