Oh.
An overpayment applied to the following year's taxes on an individual return.
You or the TP or you with POA) may be able to get a transcript from IRS for the year the last return was filed and the next 3 or 4 years just to see what was on the IRS books.
Technically, the overpayment in a given year may be applied to the ESTIMATED taxes for the following year (1040 line 75 for 2013). It may be that a late filed return for that following year (which is your scenario as I undertand it) would be a claim for refund and barred by the 3 year statute of limitations.Friends double; family triple. Don't buy an audit for yourself. If someone has to go to jail make sure it is the client. Remember it is only taxes, nothing important.
