You would receive a tax refund after filing your tax return if you paid more in taxes throughout the year than you actually owed. This excess amount is returned to you by the government.

What is the refund policy if one were to buy fiber optic cable online through Amazon?

Whether you would receive a refund at all or not depends on the seller. If refunds were accepted by the seller, you would receive a refund upon your return of the fiber optic cable. If the seller does not accept refunds, then you would not be able to get a refund but rather have to keep the product.


What is the statute of limitations for ex to claim half of tax refund?

As far as the IRS is concerned, if your ex was not included on the tax return for the year that you are filing, they would have no claim to your refund. If you were filing a joint return for that year then the spouses name is listed on the return and they would have to sign the check in order for you to cash it. Be very careful here, if you endorse the check for the refund by signing your former spouses name to the check, you will be guilty of fraud by conversion and for forgery. The IRS will prosecute someone who commits forgery by signing someone else's name on a check.

To check the status of your refund enter your Social Security Number, tax year of the return filed and the expected refund amount (to the nearest dollar). If you e-Filed your tax return your refund will be processed in about one week. If you filed your tax return on paper, your refund could take up to seven weeks to process.

I haven't filed my taxes for 3 years. do I loose the child tax benefit for those past years or will I get a refund for them?

You should file your income tax returns if you qualify for any of the refund amounts and see what happens. You can file for a refund up to 3 years from the due date of the tax return and receive the amount of the refund that you qualify for after that period of time the refund is no longer available to you. For the 2006 tax year income tax return the last day to file and receive the refund amount would have been April 15 2010.

Do you I get my taxes take away for my wife's owing child support if I claim her as a dependent?

You would file a joint return with your wife--she is not a dependent. Child support arrears would likely be subtracted from your joint tax return. If you filed a joint return and you're not responsible for the debt, you are entitled to a portion of the refund. You may request your portion of the refund by filing Form 8379 (PDF), Injured Spouse Allocation.You should obtain information from a licensed tax preparer.
