IRS Collection Statute: Hillsborough Guide
The IRS has 10 years to collect. Knowing your exact dates changes the entire strategy.
The IRS has 10 years from assessment to collect under IRC section 6502. After that, the debt expires. For Tampa taxpayers with Florida's strong asset protections, the IRS may struggle to collect the full amount during that window, making CNC status combined with a running statute a legitimate endgame.
Tolling events pause the clock: OIC applications, bankruptcy, CDP hearings, military service. Each adds time. The analysis requires your IRS transcripts and date-specific calculations.
Let me pull your transcripts and tell you exactly when each year expires.
