It is taxpayer’s obligation to file tax. If you did not file a tax return for the past year(s), You could submit past year’s tax return any time. However, in most cases, an original return claiming a refund must be filed within three years of its due date for the IRS to issue a refund.
Generally, after the three-year window closes, the IRS can neither send a refund for the specific tax year, nor apply any credits.
For example: You could get a refund from the IRS if you filed your 2017 tax forms on or before April 15, 2021. If you filed after April 15, 2021, you would not get any refund. But Tax Panda still advise you to submit any forgotten returns to stay in tax compliance.

The Federal and State both support the following methods of refund/payment: Direct Deposit or Check

E-filed tax returns with direct deposit is the fastest way of getting a refund. It usually takes about 21 days for IRS to process the refund.
If you mailed paper tax returns, you could check your “where is my refund” status 4 weeks after your submission. IRS usually process paper refund within 6-8 weeks.

Typically, a tax year means a nature year from Jan 1 to Dec 31. After the tax year has ended, people file tax in the next year.
For Example:
Tax Year = 2020 Jan 1 to Dec 31
Tax Due Date: April 15*, 2021
（*If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the due date is delayed until the next business day. Your return is considered filed on time if the envelope is properly addressed, postmarked, and deposited in the mail by the due date. ）

If you filed an extension on or before Tax Due Date/April 15, you could have until Oct. 15 to file a return. It is a very common practice as many taxpayers file an extension and get more time to prepare their tax documents. To get the extension, you must estimate your tax liability on this form and should also pay any amount due on the tax due date/April 15.

If you choose Tax Panda’s extension service, our professional accountants will take care of the following on or before April 15:
1.File your extension forms
2.Submit the estimated tax you need to pay, if any
