Hello, I need to file an amended 1040 return for Tax Yr 2010. I had received a six-month extension in April 2011 and filed my return on 10/17/2011 (Oct 15 was a Saturday). The documentation states that the amended return needs to be filed with three years. Do I need to file it by 10/15/2014 or do I have the extra two days until 10/17/2014, which will be three calendar years after filing? I really need those two days, I am too tired to continue tonight and I would need to take tomorrow off otherwise. (Yes, I am a terrible procrastinator, but I swear this is the last time. Really.)
Thanks for any info.

The tax code says three years from the date you filed your original return. If you filed on 10/17/11, you have until 10/17/14.
I did this once. I discovered a clause in my state tax code about medical expenses that I hadn't known about and that entitled me to a refund of a few hundred dollars each of the prior 3 years, so I filed amendments for all 3 years and got the money back in a few weeks. It was worth it. Good luck.
Thanks. It's for a refund, so no penalty other than self-induced stress.
Just be careful, after 3 years they keep the refund due........If you owe them of course you still owe but if they owe you then you lose!
