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. Check the limitations. When you find that you need to amend a tax return, you need to make sure the statute of limitations on filing one hasn't run out. The statute of limitations, or time allowed for the action, on getting a refund from an amended tax return is three years. That means if you're filing an amended tax return because you're hoping to get an additional refund, the cutoff time is three years after the original return was filed.
