If you filed your 2024 tax return, you may still have a few questions: 1) When will you get your refund? Go to the IRS website and click “Get your refund status.” You’ll need your Social Security number, filing status and the exact refund amount. 2) How long should you keep tax records? In general, hold on to tax documents for 3 years after filing. However, keep the actual tax returns indefinitely. Certain situations may require keeping records longer. 3) Can you still claim a missed deduction or credit? Yes! You can file an amended return to claim a refund within 3 years of the date you filed your original return or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.
