You do not have to report any income tax refund on any tax forms, it is not income.

If you took the amount as a deduction as State taxes on your federal return originally (say refund is from a prior year), then getting it back now is reported as income.

Taxpayer failed to file a tax return to claim a possible refund amount they had available to them if the refund amount is claimed in the 3 year time frame then the refund amount is no longer available to the taxpayer. Taxpayer filed a income tax return and failed to claim some of the credits that were available to them if the income tax had been filed correctly and the can now file the 1040X amended individual income tax return to correct the error that was made on the original file income tax return to claim the additional refund amount.

Yes. If you file your original (first) return before the due date, you have 3 years from the due date to amend and claim a refund. If you file your original return after the due date (and within 3 years after the due date), you have 3 years from the date you filed to amend and claim a refund. See Form 1040X instructions to amend your federal return. If you live in a state with personal income tax, you will also need to amend your state return. Most states use the same due dates and refund claim dates. Example 1: Your 2008 return was due on April 15th, 2009. Your original return was received by the IRS on February 21, 2009. You have until April 15th, 2012 to amend your return and claim a refund. Example 2: You did not file your 2008 return before the due date. The IRS received your 2008 return on March 25, 2011. You have until March 25, 2014 to amend your return and claim a refund. Example 3: You did not file your 2008 return before the due date. The IRS received your 2008 return on April 20, 2012. You filed outside of the time limit to claim a refund, so you cannot get a refund. You also cannot amend and get a refund.
No. But you must claim any refunds of State & local taxes that you deducted in a prior year.
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: http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=98339,00.html The time limit to claim a refund may be different for state returns.

To claim a refund of taxes paid.
When you are due a refund and fail to file your income tax return to claim the refund amount that you are due they do not charge the penalty because if you fail to claim the amount it will eventually be lost.
