Will the IRS give me a refund for 2007 if I didn't file in 2005?

Yes, as long as they haven't assessed a balance due against you for 2005. If you do not file a tax return, Internal Revenue Code Section 6020(b) allows the IRS to file one on your behalf based upon the information that was reported to them. If they have done so, they might have calculated that you owe them money -- in which case they will keep the refund to pay that balance. If they haven't assessed any balances against you, you should receive your refund.

Can you get a tax refund if you filed 9 months after deadline?
Yes. You can actually file for a refund for the current year and two years previous. Right now you can file for a refund on tax years 2008, 2009, and 2010. You can also file for a refund on 2007 if and only if you filed for an extension in 2007 which gives you until October 15th to file for the 2007 refund. If you did not file an extension in 2007 then your time to request a refund expired on April 15th.
Too late to file 2007 taxes?
You have three years from the filing deadline to file your income tax return to receive your refund. Taxes for 2007 were due on April 15th 2008. You have until April 15th 2011 to file to receive a refund. Never if you have a tax liability.
I have not received a 1099 G listing my refund for my 2007 tax return. Do I need this to file for 2008 If so how do I get it?
No, you don't need a 1099 for your tax refund because your refund isn't taxable.
When is he last day to file a 2005 federal tax return and get a refund?

What happens to a income tax refund if you do not file?
You cannot get a refund if you don't file. But even if you are years late, you can still file and apply for your refund. It does not expire.
When you file for the federal tax refund do you file the state tax refund separately or on the same form 1040 with schedule a?
When you file for the federal tax refund, you will file the state tax refund on the same 1040 form with schedule A.You can also file for that separately.
Didn't file income tax last year will you still get refund this year?
That depends. If you didn't overpay your taxes through withholding or other means, you won't get a refund. If you were not required to file a tax return in 2007 and are due a refund, there is no reason you shouldn't get it. If you had income in 2007 that the IRS is aware of (say because it was reported on a W-2 or 1099) and that was sufficient to require the filing of a 2007 return, your refund may be held up until the 2007 issue is resolved. If you meant to ask "Is there still time for me to get a 2007 refund?" the answer is an emphatic yes. All you have to do is fill out your 2007 tax forms and mail them in. It's really that simple. Even if you didn't file a 2007 tax return, you should file a 2008 tax return on time if you are required to file for 2008. A lot of people, for one reason or another, neglect to file a tax return for a year or two. They then become scared and stop filing tax returns for future years. Even if you missed a return in the past, you should file this year's return on time. Each and every year you miss is a separate offense and subject to a whole new set of additional possible penalties. Not filing for 2008 will not help your problems from past years. In fact, it will compound your problems and make them orders of magnitude worse. If you should have filed taxes in 2007 or you were owed a refund from 2007, file your 2007 taxes now. And regardless of what you do about 2007, file your 2008 taxes on time.
You did not file 2005 tax return when should you do it?
Do so at the first opportunity! Depending when you asked this question, and followed through. You actaully only get a refund for the past three years. So if you did not file your return by April 15, then you will receive your refund, if you were due one. However, whether you were entitled to a refund or not, you still need to file your return to prevent further interest/penalties accruing.
Can you receive your tax refund if you didn't file the previous year?
It is not possible to get refund unless we file the income tax returns. When we file returns it will check with OLTAS and generate refund if paid excess
How do you file for a refund?
You file your return, like everyone else, and if you owe money you pay it and if you have a refund coming, you receive it.
Can you still file tax return for previous years?
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.
