    Aren t you animated addition Tax Division is over?

    Ah, yes -- addition tax acknowledgment filed, addition tax return

    "in the books."

    that you already filed?

    If you anticipate you forgot a answer on a ahead filed

    return, you accept three years to acquaint the IRS about it and

    receive a refund.

    Here s how it works: You can book an adapted acknowledgment up to

    three years afterwards the due date of the acknowledgment in question.

    So, for Year 2002 allotment due April 15, 2003 -- you have

    until April 15, 2006 to book a correction.

    For Year 2001 allotment due April 15, 2002 -- you accept until

    April 15, 2005 to book a correction.

    And for Year 2000 allotment due April 15, 2001 -- you have

    an adapted tax return. Do the math:

    prepare the able forms (or accept your accountant do it),

    and forward them off to the IRS.

    If you are in the 35% tax bracket (say, 30% federal plus

    5% state), you will get a $350 acquittance for your efforts. And

    even if it took you 2.5 hours of paperwork drudgery, Uncle

    Same just paid you a air-conditioned $140/hour. Not bad, eh?
