As a tax professional for many years, my advice is to always file your tax returns. But sometimes life happens and we find ourselves falling behind with lots of important things, especially filing your taxes.
In this video, I’ll share a story about a friend of mine, who didn’t file his taxes and almost lost out on a five thousand dollar refund. Because, if you’re due an IRS refund, you have three years in which to claim it. Once you’ve passed three years, your refund is lost.
Later in the video, I’ll let you know the last day to file your 2019 tax return, in order to claim your refund. There’s still time.
