| Take all your paperwork to an enrolled agent. You need to be able to show when the original taxes were filed, as the IRS has 3 years from that date to assess a tax deficiency and 10 years to collect after assessment. Or something like that.
If you never filed the returns, the SOL has not yet started & therefore cannot have expired. You can still file the returns & reduce the amount owed, which will also reduce the interest & penalties.
BTW, check to see if you filed your state returns on time. You may have state problems lurking in the background.
