Is there a statute of limitaions for which the federal gove. can collect income taxes due?

The statute of limitations for collecting the tax is different from the statute for assessment of tax.  \n\nAssessment statute:  3 years from the date that the return is filed or due, whichever is later\n\nCollection statute:  10 years

Technically no, you don´t - if tax is due (see limits above) it is due from the estate BEFORE anything is paid out to beneficiaries.  So if you have received something, it SHOULD already have been taxed unless there are special circumstances.

That depends on who they are collecting for.  Some states have begun to us collection agencies to collect government debts.  Traffic and Parking tickets are the items that surprised me the first time I saw a collection agency take a state tax refund.

No, but any future earning can be levied, even his income tax refund. If the matter drags on you can also levy any property they own.

contact the IRS or Department of Revenue.  Request a Compromise and Release.  This will give you the power to work with the IRS and work out a payment arrangment to pay the past due taxes.  \n\nIf taxes are not paid, your bank accounts, savings, property (Home, car or any asset) can be attached with liens or seized but the IRS!!!

Federal? State (depends on state)?\nIn majority of cases, deadline is 15th April, if I understand you correctly.\n\nIf you are really confused, file tax extension electronically, for free. See, irs.gov.

I can get all of that information at my county Tax Collector's office website.  See if your tax collector has a searchable website.  I don't think there is a statewide or nationwide free service.

Have your Accountant and Attorney check T.C.A. § 28-3-110  \n\nIm almost positive that this is the Statute that Tennessee relies on for it's 10 year Statute of Limitations on Tax Liens.

your best bet is to contact a lawyer for a free consiltation. \ndepending on where you live, there might be a staute of limitation and you won't be able to collect at all. A lawyer would know best

It depends on where you live. Look it up at IRS.GOV

Obviously, I don't know all the details, but the IRS will usually levy wages only after they have been ignored for a long time.  Your friend needs to come up with a payment plan, either a proposed installment payment plan (form 433D, I think) or a partial pay offer in compromise (form 656), along with a financial statement on form 433A.  The forms are on the IRS web site http://www.irs.gov.  Good luck.

Yes. There are several clauses state that this is a possibility. Refer http://www.irs.gov

The authority you're asking about is contained in a mind-numbingly complex series of Acts of Congress and legal decisions in case law, one built on top of the next. The staggering volume of this legal mess invites challenges from those who would like to find a single line somewhere that brings down the house of cards and proves it all invalid. \n\nIt is true that it took several false starts before the legal foundation for taxing personal income was strong enough to make it a permanent source of revenue for the U.S. government. The first U.S. income tax, enacted in 1862 to pay for the Civil War, was repealed 10 years later. \n\nIn 1894, Congress tried to bring back income taxes, but a year later the Supreme Court ruled them unconstitutional in the landmark "Pollack" case. (A central issue in that case was how these taxes would be "apportioned" to the various states.) By 1913, Congress gave it one more shot, and the states ratified the Sixteenth Amendment, which says:\n\n"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration."\n\nSome modern tax skeptics claim this amendment was not properly ratified. Alas, so far, none of them have been able to convince a federal court of the validity of their claim. \n\nWorse, many of these people offer themselves up as "tax consultants" and bilk hard-working people out of "advisory fees" based on their delusional claims. They are about as legitimate as those fictitious e-mails from ousted Nigerian officials offering to pay you handsomely for helping them move millions of dollars out of their country.\n\nThe IRS provides a nice summary on the history of the laws that gave rise to the U.S. income tax. You can also find more on the history of the U.S. income tax on the Web site at Colorado College. Here are some highlights from that page: \n\n1916-1951: new tax legislation enacted every year \n1939: U.S. Tax Laws first codified as an integral part of the U.S. Code -- IRC 1939 \n1954: U.S. tax code amended and becomes IRC 1954 \n1986: Code completely revamped -- IRC 1986 US Code, Title 26, Internal Revenue Code of 1986 \n1997: Taxpayer Relief Act -- new beneficial rules to offset education costs \n2001: Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act -- phased in changes with sunset provisions causing the new tax laws to terminate in 2011, leaving the clean up to future sessions of Congress. Middle income taxpayers assume burden for repealed estate tax provisions by now paying capital gains income tax on decedent's built in gain. \nAs for the various types of income, they are also thoroughly defined in the tax law (and on the IRS Web site). There is wage income, interest and dividend income, capital gains, alimony, rental income, lottery winnings -- you get the idea. And there's a place for each and every one of them on your Form 1040 tax return.\n\nSorry to be the one to break the bad news.

I couldn't find a national list.  I wanted to say, no state ALLOWS tax on anything.  They REQUIRE collecting tax on certain items/services.  "Allow" implies an option.

The state of Nevada does not have an income tax, so there's no limit tied to the state.\n\nGenerally, any winnings in excess of $599 must be reported to the IRS.  All winnings are taxable at the federal level, even if not reported at the time of payout, and regardless of whether or not taxes were withheld.
