It would probably be a good idea to file the prior year one first but you can choose to file the one that you want to file first.

Will you receive money if your dependent has been claimed unjustly for the last 3 years?

You won't unless you file tax returns for the three years in question claiming the dependent. If you've already filed tax returns without claiming the dependent, you should file amended tax returns for the years in question. The deadline for filing a 2005 amended return is April 15, 2009. It is too late to amend years before 2005. Once you file your returns, the IRS will contact you for additional information. Note that if you e-file a return after someone else has claimed the same dependent, your e-file will be rejected. People erroneously assume this means that the first person to file gets the money. All it means is that the second person has to send in a paper return in order to begin the process of determining who gets the dependent.

How long do you have to file income taxes?

You can file federal income tax returns at any time. If you fail to file before the deadline or extended deadline for any year in which you owed tax, then you will incur penalties and interest. You can file amended returns up to three years after filing a return. If you are required to file a return and fail to file, there is no statute of limitations on any tax, penalties and interest you may owe, until you file. Then the IRS has three years in which to assess the charges.
