Looking through the archives, I see there's been extensive
discussion about the three year limit/two year limit on
refunds conundrum.
One point I didn't see examined was the question of whether
the three year limit can be extended if an automatic
extension (let's say) was requested. Or even better: if the
taxpayer was abroad and thus automatically had until June 15
to file.
So if John Smith was abroad on April 15, 2003, and therefore
had until June 15, 2003 to file his 2002 return, and he went
and filed on May 1, 2006, would he get the refund?
Would it at all change the answer if the refund stemmed from
the fact that he applied his 2001 refund to 2002? (I don't
see why it would.)
Thanks.
