4/15/2011 OR 4/18/2011....or later Oct 18, 2011if filed an ext for tax year 2007?

If it's Federal

then it has to be amended by 4/15 or if it was properly extended then Oct 15. The rule is three years after it was originally due including extensions.

Like erchess said, there is not a definitely answer. It depends on when the taxpayer filed his 2007 tax return back in 2008 ie whether he had filed an extension or not for that year.

I think it will be 4/18/2011 if no extension and 10/17/2011 if a valid extension was filed.

§7503 governs here. April 15 is a legal holiday in DC - the next business day is 4/18. October 15 is a Saturday - the next business day is October 17.

Good Grief, Frank. Here I was of the opinion it is April 15th based on something you said somewhere, at some date in the past.

... something you said somewhere, at some date in the past.

Now that narrows it down quite a bit.

I could be wrong

but I think you have to figure out what day in 2008 the return was due including extensions and including whether the 15th that year was on a weekend or holiday and the amend must be postmarked by that date in 2011 even if that date is a Saturday or a holiday or whatever. If someone has a cite to the contrary then I'm wrong but otherwise that's what I have always been taught.

You were taught wrong.

Cites to the contrary - READ sections §6513(b) (when taxes are deemed paid) and §7503 (time for performance of an act where last day is Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday).

I stand corrected.

Well now... I kinda think it was NOT during the ast century.
