Claim [for a refund] must be filed within 3 years from the time the return was filed or 2 years from the time the tax was paid, whichever of such periods expires the later, or if no return was filed by the taxpayer, within 2 years from the time the tax was paid.
he will not be entitled to receive the refund but would the denied refund be used to pay down the 2014 debt if he files after the deadline for 2015 returns?
You have not indicated whether the taxpayer filed an extension for 2015 which would provide additional time up to October 15.
Thanks Doug. Harry, he has to file his 2015 return by tomorrow to claim any refund.
I would make every reasonable effort to file a tax return tomorrow even if you have to estimate some numbers.
