I am sure I did my 2020 taxes properly, but there are a couple issues the
IRS might want a better explanation of. While I am confident I can do
that, I obviously don't want to.
At what point can I sleep better knowing it probably isn't going to happen?

Well if you committed fraud or, more precisely, the IRS believes you committed fraud, I don't think there is any limit on when they can audit
you. So you'll never sleep better in that case.
But if you did the return honestly and there are just one or two minor
issues that won't have major impacts, then I would say three years from the due date of the return, which I guess would be April 2024 assuming you
didn't file an extension. If you think there is an issue that could impact income in a big way (more than 25% of income misstated), then probably six years from same.

I am familiar with the legal time limits involved... I meant more as a >practical matter. I presume it goes through their computer and kicks out >anything suspicious, which they might follow up on. And if that hasn't >happened by XXX, it isn't likely to. I am wondering what date XXX might

But perhaps I just don't understand the process.
I only had an issue once. NYS took exception to my deductions. I sent
them 150 pages of receipts and never heard back from them.
