my husband was hospitalized in 1991. Approximately in 2009 the IRS started keeping our state tax return in payment for the hospital bill from 1991. This is how we found out a judgement was taken out in 1994 for this bill. I'm assuming another judgement was taken out in 2004 to continue the judgement. However , it is now 20116 and the IRS kept our state tax return for 2015. Is this legal, can they continue to do this if it's past New York law statue of limitations which I believe is 20 years? What is our recourse?
 
There is no SOL on IRS tax liens.
Yes, the IRS has become so powerful that the ONLY fix for their confiscatory efforts is to file a chapter seven bankruptcy.
I suggest you discuss your concerns with several bankruptcy attorneys in your county.
Most attorneys will not charge you anything for the initial cnsultation.
Good luck.
