If an amended return is based on a non-business bad debt or worthless security how many years (from the original due dateof the return) does a taxpayer have to file the amended return?

This is going to depend on the exact situation of the amendment. Firstly, a non-business bad debt is not deductible for income tax purposes. The second item, you list is a worthless security, which is deductible but limited to the offset of your capital gains and a limited amount of deduction above this amount. The security must be a publicly traded security in order to take a loss on the security. In order to claim a refund on any amended individual return, you have the current year plus two prior years if they are filed within two years of the original due date. For instance, say you neglected to file an allowable loss on your 2015 tax return. You would have two years from April 15th of 2016 to file an amendment or two years from October 15th of 2016 if you had filed a timely extension request for that tax year.

You need to file an amended return if you omitted a W-2 form from your original return. Form 1040X is Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. You should file your amended return as soon as you discover any omissions or corrections.Be sure to note where to mail your Form 1040X in the Where To File page of Instructions for Form 1040X. Amended forms don't necessarily go to the same Internal Revenue Service Center where you filed your original return.

When do i get the tax money from the housing tax credit if i amend my taxes?

Assuming you amended your return to request the 1st time home buyer credit it takes the IRS approx. 10-16 weeks to process an amended return. This is because amended returns are worked differently. They are actually "hand" done, meaning a human being looks closely at the 1040x (amended federal return) This is done because there is always the question as to why you are changing the original tax return filed. (1040) So to answer your question, BE PATIENT!
