Correct. Actually, IRS spokesman Jesse Weller has specifically stated
"if you failed to file a return or if the IRS suspects you filed a
fraudulent claim, no statute of limitations applies."

Additionally, they have 10 years to collect the full amount owed to
them.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the audit period is 3 years,
unless there is a finding of gross over or under reporting of income
(defined as +/- 25%.  And that determination must be made within the 3
year timeframe.  Once found, the IRS can go back an additional 3 years.
All limitations are triggered from date of filing or payment, whichever
is later.  If fraud or failure to file is found, the timeframe extends
back to Genesis 7.  All records before that time are presumed to have
been lost in the flood.
