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).
The time periods can be even longer than six years in some cases. The IRS has no time limit if you never file a return. For unfiled tax returns, criminal violations or fraud, though, the practical limit is usually six years. Another scary rule is that the IRS can audit forever if you omit certain tax forms. Plus, once an assessment is made, the IRS collection statute is typically 10 years. In some cases, the IRS can go back 30 years. In Beeler v. Commissioner, the Tax Court held Mr. Beeler responsible for 30 year-old payroll tax penalties.
