    IRS lien
    If the IRS has a lein against you for back taxes, does it ever expire, and what happens if you die?

    It expires when its paid. If you die its applied to your estate.

    I am a little confused, as I found this article.
    IRS Statute of Limitations: Do Taxes Ever Expire?
    It states that that the IRS has 10 years?

    Well looks like I was wrong. Sorry about that. Generally a debt never expires, so I assumed that applied to tax debt as well.

    Generally the time frame for collections is 10 years from the date the tax is assessed. A copy of the lien should show the date the tax was assessed. The date you file the return is not the date the tax is assessed.
