CSED stands for Collection Statute Expiration Date. It refers to the maximum amount of time the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) has to collect on tax debts. Generally, the IRS has 10 years from the date of assessment of a tax liability to collect the debt. After the CSED, the IRS is legally prohibited from collecting the debt.
It’s important to note that certain actions can extend the CSED, such as filing for bankruptcy, submitting an Offer in Compromise, or signing a waiver agreeing to extend the collection period. Therefore, it’s crucial to carefully consider any actions you take and consult a tax professional if you have unpaid tax debts approaching their CSED.
