Isnt the statute of limitations for collecting taxes 10 years?

2004 is 19 years...

It's 3, 6, 10, or many other options depending on the situation. They can be extended in various ways too... https://www.americanbar.org/groups/business_law/resources/bu...

Not if it’s evasion.

Is the IRS saying it is evasion? That’s not at all what I read. Any source for that claim?

I would guess that they won't bother doing that unless they and MS can't come to a satisfactory agreement.

My dad’s shuttered small business was audited last century. In his case they sent a letter saying you are under an investigation for year x, they clock resets to x years after that and they can bring action anytime. At least that’s the was it was explained to very young me at the time.
