The clock does not start when the tax year ends but rather when the IRS officially assesses the debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you owed taxes for the year <strong>2014<\/strong> and filed your return on time in <strong>April 2015<\/strong>, the IRS typically processes and assesses the debt by late <strong>2015<\/strong>. This means the collection period would expire in <strong>2025<\/strong>\u201410 years from the assessment date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this expiration date is not set in stone. Certain events can <strong>pause or extend<\/strong> the collection period, making it crucial for taxpayers to understand how their actions affect their CSED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Stops or Extends the IRS Collection Period?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several factors can pause or extend the IRS collection period, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/guardiantaxlaw.com\/bankruptcy-and-taxes\"><strong>Filing for bankruptcy<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 The collection period is paused during bankruptcy proceedings and may be extended by six to nine months after the case concludes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/guardiantaxlaw.com\/what-is-an-offer-in-compromise\"><strong>Submitting an Offer in Compromise<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 If you negotiate to settle your tax debt for less than what is owed, the clock stops while the IRS reviews your offer and does not restart until a decision is made.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/guardiantaxlaw.com\/how-to-save-money-with-an-installment-plan\"><strong>Requesting an installment agreement<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Simply applying for an installment plan may temporarily pause the collection period, giving the IRS more time to collect if the request is rejected or canceled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/guardiantaxlaw.com\/how-to-appeal-irs-decisions\"><strong>Appealing an IRS decision<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 If you dispute the debt through an appeal, the collection clock pauses until a resolution is reached.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leaving the country for six months or more<\/strong> \u2013 If you are outside the U.S. for an extended period, the IRS can stop the clock until you return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens When the IRS Collection Period Expires?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the <strong>10-year CSED<\/strong> expires, the<a href=\"https:\/\/guardiantaxlaw.com\/does-tax-debt-expire\"> <strong>tax debt becomes legally unenforceable<\/strong><\/a>, meaning the IRS can no longer attempt to collect it.
