Since you say IRS, I assume you're asking about US, not UK where you posted.
If you didn't file a return, then they can go back any amount of time. If you filed, it's 3 or 7 years depending on circumstances.

As many years as they think they need to. Usually 7 years.http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/money/irsaudit/irsaudit.htm

If tax fraud is involved, they can go back forever. Other than that, I do believe they are limited to seven years.

7 years you must keep everything that you need when you filed taxes for each year and you must keep all documents from those taxes being filed.
