When Does Your IRS Debt Expire? Find Your CSED Date

Video Transcript

Did you know the IRS debt has an expiration date? Here's how to find out when your debt is set to expire. The Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED), is the date the IRS can no longer legally collect your tax debt, and it's typically 10 years from the date of assessment. Request your transcripts using IRS Form 4506-T or through your online IRS account. Look for the assessment date on your transcript. If you add 10 years to that assessment date, you'll get the CSED. But remember, actions like filing bankruptcy or an Offer in Compromise can extend this date. Not sure how to calculate your CSED? Call Victory Tax Lawyers 866-938-6918 or visit victorytaxlaw.com.
