Question

Jose could not find his log book that proved his vehicle expenses for 2018. Therefore, he did not deduct this expense on his timely-filed 2018 return. What is the latest date he can file an amended return, corrected for his unclaimed expenses, to obtain a refund of taxes paid on his 2018 return?A. April 18, 2018.B. April 17, 2019.C. October 15, 2019.D. April 15, 2021.

Answer 1

Answer: April 15, 2022

Step-by-step explanation:

The limit on issuing cash refunds is three years which means that Jose would have to file the amended return within three years if he hopes to obtain a refund on the taxes he paid in 2018.

The deadline to file returns for 2018 is April 15, 2019 so if the deadline is 3 years from then, the latest date would be:

= 2019 + 3

= 2022

= April 15, 2022
