How long after filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can you file for Chapter 13?

My sister has been dealing with the IRS for a while and she was recently told by a friend of hers that she could file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy to get all her bills organized and establish a payment that would help her meet her obligations and keep her house. My understanding is that once you file Bankruptcy you can not do it again for 10 years. I could be wrong though -

    It’s 8 years, and you cannot include IRS taxes owed in a chapter 7…………..they can run it thru a chapter 13 plan..but…no for a 7
