The Refund Statute of Limitations: When Time Runs Out


Listen Later

Understanding the refund statute of limitations can mean the difference between claiming a refund and losing that money forever. This episode breaks down the complex rules around when taxpayers can file refund claims and how much they can recover, using the recent Hamilton v. US case as a cautionary tale. Whether you're dealing with late-filed returns, amended returns, or clients who've fallen behind on their taxes, these statute of limitations rules will determine what's possible and what's permanently lost.
