Is there a fee for filing income taxes in Alabama late if you're owed a refund?

Do I file taxes from years ago that I didn't file?

You are always allowed to file taxes, even years after the fact. If you were required to file in a given year, you should file for that year. The statute of limitations does not start until after you have filed, so there is no time limit. Generally, you will not get a federal refund if you file more than 3 years late (state deadlines may vary). If you are owed a refund for bad debt or worthless security deductions, you have seven years in which to claim it. If you were not required to file for a given year and it is too late to get a refund for that year, there is probably little reason to file.


What is the Last day to file taxes for 2008?

The deadline was April 15, 2009. If you missed the deadline, file your 2008 taxes as soon as possible. If you owed money, you still owe it and interest and penalties are added for every day you wait. If you had a refund coming, it is not too late to claim it.

Will my federal tax refund from 2011 be applied to what I owe for 2010?

When you file your taxes for 2011 you will be given the option to put all or part of your refund towards your NEXT years taxes. But since you owe taxes from the previous year you will most likely not receive a tax refund as it will automatically be applied to what is already owed to the IRS. It is best to set aside money each month if you are self employed, or if unemployed as you stated, if you file for unemployment payments, have your taxes deducted from your paymnts prior to your receiving them. If your refund exceeds the amount your currently owe from last years taxes you will receive a letter stating how much has been with-held and what, if any, your remaining balance is either owed to you from your refund or still owed to the IRS.
