  • reporting tax refund no received

    From Lenny Miller@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 13 14:22:31 2022
    I'm now filing for tax years 2018 - 2021. I had refund for the year
    2018. Obviously, I haven't gotten it. Do I still list it in the 2019 tax
    filing or do I file it in the year I actually get it?

    You never report a federal tax refund on your federal tax
    return. If you get a state refund for 2018, you might have
    to report part or all of it as income on your federal tax
    return for the year that you receive the state refund, but
    only if you claimed an itemized deduction for state income
    tax on your 2018 federal tax return.

    In order to get a refund for 2018 you have to file the
    return by tomorrow, April 15, 2022. After that it's too late
    to get a refund for 2018.
