T/P missed three yr deadline by one month is there anything that can be done

[mrichman333]

I have a T/P that came to me last year to file her 2009-2013 returns.  She didn't come in till after April 15th.  Her 2010 return had a $6,000 refund.  She just got a notice that she misses the three year deadline and will not get her money.

 

Is there any exceptions or sob stories she can give to get her money?

Nope.  That is a hard line in the sand.  The cost of procrastination.  Three years is plenty of time.....

No. That's by statue and there is nothing you can do. Someone took the IRS to court because she filed in time with the IRS but she forgot to sign her return. The return was returned by the IRS and when the return was returned to the IRS with signature, the return was late. The IRS prevailed in court because when the return was returned to the IRS with signature the statue of limitations kicked in.

I hope you don't return to me stating that you don't understand that the return was returned.

That's what I thought.

I have a very ill TP who should have a refund on her 2012 tax return. If it was due 4/15/13 then the must file date for a refund is by 4/15/16. If it was extended, does she get until 10/15/16?

No.

Years ago I would apply it to the next year's taxes and it would go thru. But it's been a long time since that worked.

They got wise to that move and stopped it.
