It is really the State return for 2008, however, he requested the transcript of IRS 2008 tax return which is not attainable. My argument is that you cannot go back past 3 years also. He is responding to my denial of owing anything from 2008 because of 7 years time limitation on debts.

Assessments and collections are different.

Generally, the IRS has three years to assess a tax liability except for instances where gross income is understated by 25% or more (giving them six years) or when a return is never filed (the limitations period never begins to run).

The IRS, generally, has ten years to collect after a final assessment is made (except in certain, unusual, circumstances).

Some states provide for a collection period of up to twenty years (or even longer for a few), but the assessment period is typically much shorter.

Intuit (TurboTax) no longer produces or sells any 2008 version of TurboTax.

You might be able to find a copy on Amazon (via a third party reseller) or eBay, but it will likely no longer update.

Is "2008" a typo? Do you mean 2018? TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years. It is hard to imagine that you are being audited for 2008.
