Testimonials

  • Six years is a LONG time not to pay taxes, and I knew better. I just thought that if I filed some years without paying then the IRS was going to come after me.
  • The fact that I found you on the radio is a true testament to the fact that there is a God who watches over us...
  • When it comes to IRS representation, there are the men and there are the boys, and Travis Watkins is "the man" if you have witholding issues...
  • I visited with another lawyer before I came to see Travis Watkins. I got this heavy salesman feeling, like I just walked on a car lot...
  • I was recommended to Travis Watkins by my son, Michael, an excellent attorney himself in OKC...
  • I hired another firm before hiring the Law Office of Travis Watkins. Big mistake...

How long does the IRS have to audit a tax return?

 

A: 3 years.  Under the Tax Code, the IRS must assess tax within 3 years after the return is filed.  That includes assessments due to an audit.  Beware, the Tax Code also allows the IRS to go back a total of 6 years if the taxpayer understates at least 25% of gross income in the return.  Note, these periods never run if 1) the IRS filed for you, i.e. what the IRS calls an SFR (Substitute For Return); or 2) if the IRS deems the return false or fraudulent in any way.  For these reasons, you should keep at least 7 years of returns on hand and ALWAYS file and report your income and deductions truthfully.
