The IRS has levied my SS benefits because of an unpaid tax. They take 15% each month. The levy was done before the 10 yr. statute for collection expired. Can the IRS continue this levy indefinitely even after the 10 years are up? I have no other income or property.

Hello Bob:
As long as they levied before the statute was up, and they did. Once they did that, the 10 year statute has nothing to do with your case anymore.

Yes, the statue of limitation is from the time of the debt, to the time they file for a judgement to garnish your pay ( or in the case of the IRS merely garnish) But judgements once issued are good for 10 years from the time of the judgement and normally can be renewed for another 10.
