statute of limitation for non-filer
Have had problems with IRS since 1981. A result of not filing forms for 1983-1993. went to jail and have been filing since 1995.
They destroyed my life and I am still NOT able to get rid of them. They want money for 1984. I do not even have a job.
What is the statute of limitation for non filers?

Re: statute of limitation for non-filer
Go to IRS, or write them. Establish the taxable income that
was reported to IRS, and file the return. Notify IRS that you
would like to enter into an accord and satisfaction agreement. Do
not enter into any accord and satisfaction agreement until after you
have worked out the issue of the proper liability owed.

on your specific case.
Re: statute of limitation for non-filer
The statute of limitations runs for three years from the due date
of the return, or the filing date, whichever is later. A tem year
limitation applies if the imcome is understated by more than 25% or there si fraud.
A 10 year statute of limitation exists for collection, running for the date the
tax is asssessed.
In dealing with the IRS, owing tax is not a crime.
Failing to file, or lying about your tax liability is a crime.
If the IRS is concerned about you 1983 tax liability, there must be something about your case
that makes the tax collectible.
You can go to the taxpayer assistance office for help.
They are charged by statute to assist taxpayers.
Good luck.
