So it ends up being either 4 or 7 years. You should think of it in terms of the number of tax returns they go back, rather than in time. After all, in an audit, they want that many years worth of data, which comes in 12 month chunks (April 16 of last year to April 15 of the current year).
It depends on how accurate your return was, what records you are talking about, etc. It's anywhere from 3 years, to 6 years, to forever. 6 years might be a good idea, especially for collection reasons. In many cases, the IRS will require the last 6 years of returns before working with taxpayers. If the IRS lost your return, you might need to resubmit it--so maybe 6 years generally, and 10 years or longer if you think the return might be incredibly weird.
