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.
If the IRS has done this bit of work on your behalf, it will not be necessary to file an Amended Tax Return. However, a tax return can only be amended within 3 years of the date you filed it or within a period of 2 years starting from the date of your most recent payment. There are a few instances when filing an Amended Tax Return is necessary.
