Can I still file 2021 W-2 in 2025? Missing refund from 3 years ago
I never filed my 2021 taxes because life got crazy. Now doing my 2024 taxes and wondering if I can still submit my 2021 W-2 and get that refund? Anyone know the cutoff dates for prior year returns?

You can still file 2021 taxes! The IRS allows you to claim refunds for up to 3 years from the original due date. For 2021 taxes, you have until April 15, 2025. But dont wait - get it done asap because your running really close to the deadline.

You'll have to mail it in. E-filing is only available for current year and prior year returns.

Hey instead of stressing about deadlines, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what you need to do. It costs $4.99 but saved me so much headache with my prior year returns. https://taxr.ai

100% legit! It uses AI to read your transcript and gives super specific guidance. Even tells you exactly what forms you need and where to send them

I was in the same boat last year. Make sure you have all your documents ready before filing. The IRS is super picky about prior year returns

Quick heads up - if you owed money instead of getting a refund, you might have penalties. Better check that first

idk why everyone makes this so complicated lol just use taxr.ai - it literally tells you everything you need to know about filing old returns. Best $5 I ever spent no cap
