    I understand that the statute for IRS debt is 10 years. Once the 10 years is over, what does one do in order not to have to continue paying?
    Thanks

    The statute is 10 years so they cannot pursue payment. I know because they told me that they couldn't pursue payment from taxes I owed when I was in college. *student loans included I suppose*

    Fine point - ten years from your date of filing. Extra fine yet nasty point - if they filed on your "behalf", you have never filed. The ten year period never began.
