TAXMAN Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Any one know what the latest dates could be for 2018 with a refund. Picked up 2 this week end. I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I did notice TP put in an extension with no balance due. He said prior preparer suggested he do it.

Margaret CPA in OH Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I just had to look this up for a client with early dementia. She hadn't filed since 2017 so 2018 for a refund would be 3 years from the due date in 2019 or April 2022. However, if income is understated by 25% or more, statute is 6 years and for fraud is forever or something. In this case, when I finally got through to e-services, apparently she self-prepared for 2018 and really botched it so now owes. Unfortunately you do have to mail 2018 returns as it is beyond e-filing deadline so prepare to wait for refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAXMAN Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I was questioning myself since IRS had extend so many dates due to covid and shutdowns I really did not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
