3 year limit on claiming refunds Hi everyone,
I just filed 5 years of back taxes in December, '06, '07, '08' 09' and '10 and I was told I was entitled to refunds for '06 and '07 by my accountant. He said "my refunds are available until I file"
Now the IRS is telling me that the returns are "Under Review" because they are more than 3 years old. The rep said they are being reviewed because they "MAY" refund some or all of the money?!?
I just got a letter from them a week ago saying that I was being mailed a check for 2006 refund...but the rep said that is not the case?!?!
She said they may refund the $ and may not?!? Is the IRS lenient with the 3 year rule at all? Do I have any hope at all of getting any of the refunds?
Thanks in advance for anyone's help...please excuse me...I have an accountant that I have to strangle... |
