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

Options presented might be for variant of question.
