There are several questions here. First, the IRS can collect for 10 years following the assessment of any tax. It appears from your post that your soon to be husband doesn't owe any tax for 2009 - If the IRS determines there is a tax due, they will complete his tax return for him (substitute for return or SFR). A tax determined from an SFR does not have a statute of limitations, the IRS can always collect that tax.
It is not until you actually do file a return that the audit time limit -- three years -- and collection time limit -- ten years -- starts to run. As a practical matter, however, if you haven't heard from the IRS in six years, you don't need to worry too much about taxes owed on a nonfiled return. The IRS usually doesn't go after nonfilers after six years -- unless the IRS begins its investigation before the six years elapsed and you owe a large amount of taxes. After six years, the IRS frequently purges its computer files.
