Answer to Problem 8P
The statute of limitation applies to the taxpayer up to April 15, 2023.
Explanation of Solution
The statute limitation is the gap between a return filing date and a date to modify its return for a refund claim or for charging additional taxes from the taxpayer by the IRS. In practice, it is 3 years of the filing date of a tax return, without considering any extensions or 2 years from the deposition of taxes by the taxpayer. Tax laws provide for certain exceptions to this provision as under:
- In case the return is not filed or the return is filed fraudulently, this provision does not apply. IRS will collect any tax deficiency later without any time limit.
- In case a taxpayer forgoes an amount exceeding 25 percent of the shown gross income in the tax return, then the time limit will become 6 years.
- For bad-debt deduction and valueless securities deduction, the time limit will increase to 7 years.
Also on mutual agreement taxpayer and IRS may decide any extended date for this provision and this extension can only be sought if the date of this provision is close to expiring and the audit is yet to complete. When IRS finds any tax deficiency it may collect this amount in 10 years from the assessment date.
In the given situation, the 2018 individual tax return was filed on April 15, 2020, fraudulently. In this case, the statute of limitation applies to the taxpayer up to April 15, 2023.
Therefore, the statute of limitation applies to the taxpayer up to April 15, 2023.
