What is the statute of limitations on filing a tax return if you were incarcerated?

The requirement to file tax returns do not change if one is incarcerated, nor is there an exemption to the penalties for filing late. The IRS will not normally provide refunds for years more than three years in the past, but they will collect balances due for as long as they have records.
Of course, many inmates have little income and are not required to file a return for the years they are incarcerated.

How far back can the IRS audit a business?
Generally, the statute of limitations on assessment of a tax deficiency is three years from the date a tax return was due UNLESS the deficiency was substantial, meaning a return failed to include 25% or more of the gross income it should have, in which case the statute of limitations extends to six years. And there's no statute of limitations on a taxpayer who was required to file a return and failed to do so.

When was the ending date to file 2010 tax returns?
IF you filed for an Automatic Extension back on April 15th of 2011 then you could have waited until October 15th to file the 2010 return as a "current year" return. However there is no Statute of Limitations for the filing of ANY year tax return. So if you failed to file your 1999 federal income tax return and the IRS finds out somehow that you had sufficient taxable income to file a return for that year then they are legally obligated by Congress to prepare a Substitute For Return for you. The SFR will allow ALL the income but not allow ANY deductions EXCEPT your Standard Deduction and your Personal Exemption amount for that year. IF in a previous year you filed as Married Filing Jointly then they will give you the Married Filing Separately status. If not, then they will give you the Single status. So IF you have yet to file your 2010 return you can still file it. You likely will NOT be able to file it electronically; however you can still submit an "ink-on-paper" version. The Statute Of Limitations for filing a "Claim" is three years from the original due date of the return OR two years from the date the tax was paid for that return. So if you are due a refund on your 2010 return go ahead and get it filed. If you wait past April 15th of 2014 then your refund/credit will be lost.

Can you file taxes after the deadline?
Absolutely. In fact you must. Sooner the better obviously, but, late filing isn't even penalized that badly (if at all if you have a reasonable cause excuse), and frequently your doing so will get a refund that you had coming, (filing is different than paying). Note: Since the statute of limitations(the laws about how long you can be audited and assessed for mis-reporting), starts running with the filing of the return, unless you file a return your ALWAYS liable for it. So apply for something from the govt., like social security or such, even years from now...have the computer see a missing filing...get a bill...with all penalties, interests, etc...not that unlikely.
