Prior Year Tax Return Filing in New Albany, OH
Haven't filed taxes for a year or more? You're not alone — many New Albany 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 New Albany?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 7 miles from New Albany — typically a 15-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 New Albany residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the New Albany-Plain Local Schools boundary, you may owe Ohio school district income tax on top of federal and Ohio IT-1040 state tax. The SD-100 return is filed alongside your Ohio return. We handle all three (federal, state, school district) as part of standard tax preparation.
