| Client lived and worked overseas for a US company from 1998 - 2006. Paid taxes abroad at a higher rate than that of the US, qualifies for earned income exclusion or can claim credit for foreign taxes paid if returns are filed. No tax liability will exist if returns are filed. Client never filed returns. IRS filed substitute returns 10/31/05 for all years. Client was not aware of this. On 9/5/06 IRS levied bank accounts to recover very substantial amounts of tax from client.
Am I correct in saying the statute of limitations does not apply here and the client can file for reconsideration of the return. What about the amount levied from the bank accounts, does the 2 year statute apply here? | |

| for the first question, I am assuming you mean SOL on refunds, and not the SOL on collection. You didn't state. | |

| If I make the other assumption, the answer is
no, yes only because you use the word 'and' | |
