What Is The Collection Statute Expiration Date
The CSED, also known as the tax liability statute of limitations, represents the time frame during which the IRS can legally collect unpaid taxes from a taxpayer. Once the CSED expires, the IRS can no longer pursue collection efforts for that specific tax liability.
Everything You Need To Know About CSED
Understanding the CSED is crucial.
- CSED calculation: The CSED is typically ten years from the date of the last assessment. It may vary depending on specific circumstances.
- Pausing the CSED: Pause certain actions such as filing for bankruptcy or requesting a collection due process(CDP) hearing can temporarily pause the CSED clock.
- IRS notifications: The IRS sends notices to taxpayers regarding the CSED, allowing you to track the expiration date.
Circumstances That Can Extend The Statute Of Limitations On Unpaid Tax
The IRS recognizes the fact that paying taxes can be challenging for most people, hence it offers various tax relief resolutions. If you have an ongoing tax resolution the IRS can extend or temporarily pause the CSED. These include;
- Bankruptcy: The CSED is suspended during an active bankruptcy proceeding.
- Offer In Compromise: While your OIC is under review, the CSED clock is paused.
- Innocent Spouse Relief: The CSED can be extended if you’re seeking innocent spouse relief.
- Military Service: Serving in a combat zone can extend the CSED tax litigation. Engaging in tax litigation halts the CSED until the case is resolved.
- Pending Installment Agreement: If you have a pending installment agreement, it can also extend your CSED date.
Additionally, if you request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing, the CSED clock will be temporarily paused during the review process. Furthermore, if you decide to initiate a tax court case, the CSED will be extended until the case is fully resolved. However, it’s important to note that entering into an installment agreement with the IRS will keep the CSED clock running. Once the activity resumes on the paused CSED, the CSED will be extended out by the duration of the paused period.
