The IRS can generally audit tax returns filed within the last three years. If substantial errors are found, they can extend the audit to additional years. The IRS typically doesn’t go back more than six years. In cases of fraud or if no return was filed, there is no statute of limitations.
For more details, see the IRS’ audit guidance.
The IRS must first send you a series of notices, including a Notice of Intent to Levy, giving you an opportunity to resolve the debt or appeal the decision. If these notices are ignored, the IRS can proceed with a bank levy. If you received a Notice of Intent to Levy, you should contact a tax lawyer immediately.
