He explains the 10-year statute of limitations on tax debt, why filing your taxes is essential to start the clock, and how exceptions like unfiled returns or fraud can delay it. Ralph shares biblical wisdom on honesty and responsibility and offers practical steps to address tax debt, including seeking professional help.
