Looking at Some Unfinished Returns?
Posted Friday, March 10, 2017
If you are due a refund on an old, unfiled return, you may want to get it in gear!
You can claim that refund on old returns for up to three (3) years after the original return date. That means the unfiled 2013 return [due April 15, 2010] can still be filed before April 15th 2017 and get the refund. Be sure to mail it in Certified, Return receipt to be able to prove receipt.
Any refund claimed after the three year period is forfeited. The funds ‘on deposit’ pay your tax for that year, but any excess is lost forever. This is also true for Amended Returns.
Good luck and good night.
