Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The six-year statute of limitations applies to situations where there is a substantial omission of gross income, defined as more than 25% of the gross income reported on the tax return. In this case, Jake's total income reported is $830,000. Therefore, an omission of more than 25% of this amount would be required before the six-year rule would apply. 25% of $830,000 is $207,500, so any omission above this amount would trigger the six-year rule. Therefore, choice C is correct.
