Need guidance on statute of limitations for tax debt? We can help.
The Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) represents the date when the IRS's legal authority to collect your tax debt expires, effectively eliminating the liability without payment. At Resolve Federal Tax Group, we specialize in the IRS statute of limitations analysis, helping taxpayers understand when their debts expire and implementing strategies that maximize the chance of reaching the Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) with minimal payment. Generally, the IRS has ten years from the date of assessment to collect tax debt, after which the liability becomes legally uncollectible. However, numerous actions can suspend or extend this ten-year period, including Offers in Compromise, bankruptcy filings, requests for Collection Due Process hearings, installment agreement negotiations, and periods of residence outside the United States. Our experienced professionals conduct detailed analysis of your IRS account transcripts to determine exact CSEDs for each tax year, identify actions that have extended collection periods, and calculate exactly when your debts will expire. For taxpayers approaching their CSED dates, we implement protective strategies that avoid actions extending the statute of limitations while managing IRS collection activities. In some cases, pursuing Currently Non-Collectible status or minimal installment agreements allows you to run out the clock until the CSED arrives and your debt disappears. We also help you avoid common mistakes that reset or extend the statute of limitations unnecessarily, such as making payments that might be better avoided or requesting relief options that suspend the collection period. Understanding the IRS statute of limitations is crucial for informed decision-making about which resolution options truly serve your interests. Schedule your free consultation today for a comprehensive CSED analysis and strategic guidance that maximizes your financial outcome.
