"Light-year" is NOT a unit of time. It is a unit of length or distance - the distance light travels in a year.

How far is in miles the furthest star?

It is impossible to know how far the furthest star is, since it can't be seen. The universe is said to be aprox 13.8 billion years old, it would be logical to assume that is how far it is in light years. 13.8 billion light years x 5.88 trillion miles per light years is pretty far. The sun is the closest star at 93 million miles. The next closest is, Proxima centauri which is 4.24 light years or 24.925 trillion miles away.
