Collection Statute of Limitations · Verified

Income-tax: enrolled judgment is a lien on the taxpayer’s property for no longer than 7 years from the filing of the notice of tax lien, renewable by refiling (Miss. Code Ann. §27-7-55, "Collection of tax; enrolling judgment"). Sales-tax enrolled judgment is a 7-year lien, renewable by refiling (§27-65-57). Assessment limitation 3 years (§27-7-49).

Verified Mississippi Resolution Options

Installment agreements: Installment agreements under DOR collection authority (Miss. Code Ann. §27-7-55) via TAP.

Offer in compromise / settlement: Offer in Compromise / settlement of doubtful claims: the Commissioner of Revenue receives and considers offers to compromise and settle doubtful claims on grounds of doubt as to liability or doubt as to collectibility (per the MDOR doubtful-claims compromise procedure; see Miss. Code Ann. §27-65-39 and the statutory doubtful-claims compromise provisions).

Penalty abatement: Penalty waiver for reasonable cause under Miss. Code Ann. §27-7-53 / §27-65-39.

Wage / levy protection: Federal CCPA floor (15 U.S.C. §1673): ordinary creditor garnishment limited to the lesser of 25% of disposable earnings or the amount exceeding 30× the federal minimum wage. State tax levies on wages may exceed this consumer cap at agency discretion. Mississippi applies the federal 75% disposable-earnings exemption (Miss. Code Ann. §85-3-4); first 30 days of wages may be fully exempt.

Citation status: Statutory citations verified against state sources. Miss. Code Ann. §27-7-55 confirmed via Justia/FindLaw: income-tax enrolled judgment is a lien for no longer than 7 years from filing the notice of tax lien (renewable). Sales-tax 7-year lien corrected to §27-65-57 (prior cite §27-65-59 was wrong), confirmed via Justia/FindLaw. §85-3-4 wage exemption confirmed. OIC operates via the MDOR doubtful-claims compromise procedure (doubt as to liability/collectibility per 2016/2021 enabling legislation); exact codified OIC section not pinned to a single number, so described at statutory-procedure level.
