Best Answer

Yes.

You can file a return for any year you have missed. No limit.

However there is a limit on how far back you will get a refund.

If you didn't file for 2005, tomorrow 4/15/2009 is the deadline to get a federal refund for 2005. Your return must be postmarked by then or your refund will be forfeited (unless it is due to bad debts or worthless securities).

You can find old federal tax forms here:

The time limit to claim a refund may be different for state returns.

Can I file this year's tax return without filing for previous years?

Yes. If you're required to file a return, you should go ahead and file for the current year so that it's on time. If you haven't filed for previous years because your income was below the required level for your filing status, you might still want to file to receive a refund of any income tax that was withheld. If you should have filed in previous years but didn't, then you should file as soon as possible to reduce late fees and penalties which most likely will be assessed.


Will you still get child tax if your income tax is late?

Up to a certain point. You are responsible to file a tax return every year. If you don't the IRS will file it for you in the worst possible manner. You can file the correct return, but can only claim a refund for the current year plus the previous two years. Anything before that you are liable for taxes but cannot claim a refund.

Can you still get a tax return from 2005?

There are two options for getting copies of previous years' returns. One, file Form 4506 (Request for Copy of Tax Return) to request an exact copy of the previous year's return. All attachments, including Form W-2, are included in this option. The IRS charges a $57.00 fee for each year requested. The previous six years' returns plus the current year's return are available. It takes above two months to process this request.Two, file Form 4506-T (Request for Transcript of Tax Return) to request a computer printout of the information on your return (transcript). Transcripts are provided at no charge. They're available for the current and past three years. It takes 10-30 business days to process this request.


Do you need to include W-2 when filing a paper tax returns?

Generally, yes. Especially if you are talking about your current year tax return (2007). If you are filing a tax return from previous years, you probably should still include it but the IRS will have it on file too so it's not as important.


If your 55 years old are you exempt from paying taxes on pension?

Can your use a W-2 form from three years ago if you didn't file the job on your tax return?

If you already have filed a tax return for that previous year, then you should amend your original return to correct that omission. Form 1040X is Amended U.S. Individual Income Return. You're allowed to amend 3 years after the date of filing your original return or two years after the date of paying taxes, if any, whichever is later. If you haven't filed a return for that year and weren't required to file, then you should file if tax was withheld to receive a refund of that tax.

Do you have to pay taxes after age 70?

SURE YOU DO. You can be over 100 years of age and could still meet the requirements of having to file an income tax return. Age does not have anything to do with the requirement to have to file an income tax return.


If you file your taxes late can you still get a return?

Yes when you are due a refund you have up to 3 years from the due date of the income tax return to file your income tax return and get any refund that may be due. After that time period the refund amount is lost and no longer available to you.
