Prior Year Tax Return Filing in Berwick, OH
Haven't filed taxes for a year or more? You're not alone — many Berwick residents fall behind during life transitions. The IRS allows you to file prior year returns at any time, but you only have 3 years from the original due date to claim a refund. After that, the refund is forfeited. We routinely file back returns covering 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 — claiming refunds before the 3-year deadline expires.

How far back can I file for a refund?+
The IRS gives you 3 years from the original due date to claim a refund. The 2021 return (originally due April 15, 2022) must be filed by April 15, 2025 for the refund to be issued. After that, the IRS keeps your refund permanently. There is no time limit on filing if you owe — but the longer you wait, the more penalty and interest accrue.
I lost my W-2s from 3 years ago. Can I still file?+
Yes. The IRS keeps wage and income transcripts on file for 10 years. We can pull your wage transcript from IRS for any year you lost documentation, then prepare an accurate return based on what was reported to the government.
I haven't filed in 5 years. What's the best strategy?+
File the past 3 years first — those are still within the refund window if you're owed money. Then file older years if compliance is needed (mortgage, immigration, financial aid). The IRS generally won't pursue you for returns older than 6 years if no fraud is involved.
How far is your office from Berwick?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 30 miles from Berwick — typically a 45-minute drive. We're on the north side of Columbus between Cleveland Ave and I-71 with free parking. Walk in any day Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm, or Sunday 10am–4pm.
Do Berwick residents owe local city income tax?+
Most Ohio municipalities in Central Ohio County levy a 1-2% local income tax on residents and on income earned within city limits. We calculate your local tax liability and file the local return alongside your federal and state returns when applicable.
