Fruitcake (or fruit cake) is a cake made with chopped candied fruit and/or dried fruit, nuts, and spices, and (optionally) soaked in spirits.
The Internal Revenue Service limits the amount of time you have to file a 1040X to the later of three years from the date you file the original tax return, or two years from the time you pay the tax for that year.
1 Three years is also the amount of time you have to amend your return. 2  Four years: Many income-taxing states have an additional year to audit individual returns. 3  Six years: Forms W-2, 1099, etc. because the IRS has six years to contact you if you've failed to report income.
